A former Chief of Staff under the John Agyekum Kufuor-led government, Kwadwo Mpiani, has called on President Akufo-Addo to consult on the reasons for the increasing calls for a ministerial reshuffling in his government.<\/p>\n
According to him, there may be some important reasons aside the current economic downturn, that the President may be oblivious to, hence, engaging with stakeholders and interrogating the reasons will be a viable line of action.<\/p>\n
He noted that it behoves on the President to ensure that all of his appointees are working efficiently and effectively to achieve success at their various posts as any failures could lead to a dent in the President\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n
He encouraged the President to employ a hands-on approach when dealing with his ministers and evaluate their performance in office in order to ensure he\u2019s getting value.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cDon\u2019t forget that you are the President; you have been given the executive power to rule the country. Success or failure is on you, not on any minister. They don\u2019t talk of health minister\u2019s government; they talk of Kufuor\u2019s government.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo the success or failure is on you and therefore you must be conscious of what is happening within your government and take necessary action to make sure that you succeed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou were voted because of the people, that\u2019s why they voted for you and therefore that must be your concern. people are not happy, if there are difficulties in the country, it is you, no other person but you and therefore that must be the most important thing in determining who should stay and who shouldn\u2019t stay.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are helping you, all of them are helping you, so if that person is not performing well, you must be bold enough to tell the person \u2018thank you so much, go away.\u2019 You\u2019re primarily there because the people want you there to improve their condition and if you\u2019re not able to do that you have failed,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
He further noted that it was only right on the part of the President to seek counsel from people outside his government in order to ensure that he is not making the wrong decision by keeping someone in office or otherwise.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s the coach, maybe he sees what I don\u2019t see. But if you want success, then maybe he should listen to people also, not only what he sees but he must also consult, listen to others for him to understand why some people are saying that maybe Mr or Ms A must be removed. They may have a reason.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt times it may not be due to performance, maybe even the behavior of the person and therefore as a President apart from looking at your own people, you must also listen to some people. I\u2019m not saying that you should always listen to people before you take decisions, no, that\u2019s not what I\u2019m saying, but I\u2019m saying that open your eyes, open your ears and let these things help you in the determination of who you believe can help you better,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
