Former NPP Member of Parliament(MP) for Manhyia North, Collins Owusu Amankwah says those calling for a reshuffle should cut the President some slack.<\/p>\n
To him, the President knows what he is doing and doesn’t need this pressure to reshuffle his Ministers.<\/p>\n
Speaking on\u00a0Peace FM’s\u00a0<\/strong>“Kokrokoo” programme, Collins Owusu Amankwah argued that it is at the President’s discretion to\u00a0change\u00a0his Ministers or not, therefore those making such calls shouldn’t make it feel its mandatory.<\/p>\n “Let me put on record that it’s not constitutional injunction that the President should do a reshuffle whether he likes it or not. It’s not in any law in Ghana. It is rather an advice from some people that Mr. President, from where we sit, we suggest you changing some appointees will help . . . Nobody can begrudge him.”<\/em><\/p>\n Alliance For Footsoldiers Advocacy (AFFA),\u00a0a grassroot wing of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), says the President should reshuffle his appointees as they\u00a0argue that some of the appointees are dormant in the discharge of their duties.<\/p>\n The group adds that the reshuffle will ensure the appointees execute their duties effectively.<\/p>\n Also,\u00a0the\u00a0outgoing Deputy General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahen says\u00a0the President\u2019s posture will make things difficult for the NPP to \u2018Break the 8\u2019.<\/p>\n In an interview with NEAT FM\u2019s<\/strong> morning show “Ghana Montie”,\u00a0Nana Obiri Boahene said; “Politically, we cannot brush aside the role of the foot soldiers. They are very instrumental in the party\u2019s victory. Let\u2019s listen to them. We want power.”<\/em><\/p>\n But the former MP is of a strong belief that President Akufo-Addo is “focused”, <\/em>thus\u00a0needs Ghanaians to cooperate with him.<\/p>\n “I still believe Ghana is in competent hands,”<\/em>\u00a0he emphasized.<\/p>\n
