Former Member of Parliament (MP) for Sunyani West Constituency, Hon. Kwadwo Adjei Darko has emphasized the need for presidents to reshuffle their ministers.

According to him, for a government to be more efficient, there is a need for reshuffling. "A minister may be good at a particular ministry; however, moving him from one ministry to the other will ensure efficient and effective governance."

He said this in an interview with Suncity Radio, a Sunyani-based radio station in the Bono Region of Ghana, following a statement made by former President John Agyekum Kufour in an interaction with the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) at his residence in Peduase on Monday, December 5, 2022.

Mr. Adjei Darko added that the president has the right and authority to reshuffle his ministers. Meanwhile, there have been several calls from some Ghanaians for President Akufo-Addo to reshuffle his ministers.

However, the president insisted that he evaluates the work of his ministers consistently and that many of his appointees have discharged their duties excellently.
