Sack Non-Performing Ofori-Atta, Afriyie Akoto And Agyemang-Manu As Ministers …Kufuor foundation CEO to Akufo-Addo

Chief Executive Officer of the Kufuor Foundation, Prof Baffuor Agyemang-Duah, has called on President Akufo-Addo to axe his Finance, Agriculture and Health Ministers to bring back sanity in his government.

In an interview with Accra-based JoyNews, Prof. Agyemang-Duah explains the general consensus is that the named have performed poorly in office and must be given the boot.

“If you put your ears to the ground what we hear popularly is the health sector implying the Minister of Health as well as the Minister of Agric, these two including the Finance are the prominent ones,” the Former UN Senior governance advisor said.

The call adds to a chorus of voices asking the President to reshuffle his government which has not been reshuffled since 2018 even though the economy has floundered badly.

However, President Akufo-Addo has already said he will not reshuffle his ministers because calls for redeployment is coming from either people who want jobs or the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

But Prof. Agyemang-Duah argues that these ministers have been under-performing in the last six years.

“There are some Ministers that we do not even hear about at all. You don’t know whether they are working or not. And there are some Ministers when you see them they look very tired, you don’t know whether they are tired and some have health issues. So all these could be factors that I think if the President wants to make a move he can take an account of to inform his decision,” he explained.
