A Deputy General Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Haruna Mohammed, has urged ministers and deputy ministers serving in President Akufo-Addo's administration who feel fatigued and unable to contribute effectively to step aside.
Mr Mohammed emphasised that this move would create opportunities for individuals with fresh perspectives and energy to join the government, thereby enhancing both governmental performance and the party's prospects in the upcoming December elections.
Speaking on JoyNews' Newsfile, Mohammed underscored the importance of prioritizing the interest of the party and government over personal interest.
He stressed that there is still ample time for both the government and the party to deliver effectively on their mandates to serve the Ghanaian people.
"...At this juncture, we are happy that the President has listened to the calls by the New Patriotic Party’s General Secretary to reshuffle his government. However, we are still calling on those who think they are very tired and cannot contribute to the fortunes of the government and the party, they should voluntarily resign so that people that will be able to assist will be appointed," he said.
After months of public pressure, President Akufo-Addo has finally made adjustments to his government.
These changes come a month after the resignation of former Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen and Agriculture Minister Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, who stepped down to concentrate on their political campaigns.
In accordance with the 1992 Constitution, the President formally notified the Speaker of Parliament of the government's new composition on Tuesday, February 13.
About 12 individuals have been appointed to ministerial positions, while others have been reshuffled to different ministries.
