Majority Leader Osei Kyei Mensa Bonsu says the recent change President Akufo-Addo has made to his government is to reinvigorate his administration.
His comment follows the President’s reshuffle of Ministers following the resignation of Trade Minister, Alan Kyerematen; Agric Minister, Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto and Chieftaincy Minister, Ebenezer Kojo Kum.
As required by the 1992 Constitution, the President wrote to the Speaker of Parliament, informing him of the new changes in government on Tuesday, February 7.
New persons have been appointed while other ministers have been reshuffled to other ministries.
Speaking on JoyNews’ PM Express, the Majority Leader noted that the change would bring new ideas to the administration.
“Well, people wanted to see some new faces and to maybe help generate new ideas onto the table to reinvigorate the administration. And I think that is the purpose of this reshuffle.
“I’ve seen some people aside from the two mentioned; Stephen Amoah has come on board, Amin Adam has gone from Deputy Energy to Finance and he’s a very versatile personality, I think that he may also positively affect the Finance Ministry.
"So let’s leave it to see how much it will translate into positivity for government and indeed for the country,” he said.
