The president who has declared the  year 2011 as an action year announced key changes in his government.<br \/>\nSome of the changes include the dropping of Tourism Minister Zita Okaikoi as well as the Education Minister Alex Tettey Enyo.<br \/>\nAttorney  General Betty Mould Iddrisu has been reassigned to the Education  Ministry, with Martin Amidu taking over the Justice and Attorney  General\u2019s position. Amidu was formerly at the Interior Ministry, a  portfolio taken over by Benjamin Kumbuor.<br \/>\nMember of Parliament  for Anlo Hon. Kofi Humado (MP) makes an entry into government assuming  responsibility for the Youth and Sports Ministry. The substantive  minister, Akua Sena Dansua has been reassigned to the Tourism Ministry.<br \/>\nFew  other changes are still expected, with the hope that government will  achieve its better Ghana agenda. But the NPP chairman is skeptical  anything positive will come out of the reshuffle.<br \/>\nHe told Joy  News the reshuffle is nothing but musical chairs in which the president  has demonstrated his power to rotate one \u201cTeam B player from one end of  the field to another.\u201d \u201cThey were not able to play well in their  original position they were in; so really nobody should have any  expectation that they will play any better in the new position into  which they are being put.\u201d<br \/>\nHe said the reshuffle is just a  smokescreen to divert attention from the petroleum price hikes, \u201cand now  what is going to happen is that the media and all of us are going to be  diverted in the discussion about that increase in prices to the  discussion of personalities who have been moved from place to place\u201d.<br \/>\nContrary  to government proclamation that the year 2011 is a year of action, the  NPP chairman said the 2011 budget on which the action year hinges on  promises nothing but disaster to the economy.<br \/>\n\u201cWe should have  felt within the budget that really and truly we are going to chart a new  cause but what did we see in the budget, nothing new about any cause at  all. We saw in fact an attack on business; an attack on growth and this  attack is continued through the unjustified increment in the price of  fuel.&#8221;<br \/>\nHe dismissed assertions that he is making hasty  conclusions saying, the performance of government officials have for the  past two years been seen and on the evidence of what is available,  nothing new will emerge in the next two years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chairman of the opposition New Patriotic Party Jake Obetsebi Lamptey is mocking the new reshuffle announced by President John Mills.
