President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo should replace the Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta with former Member of Parliament for New Juabeng South, Dr Mark Assibey-Yeboah, a former Member iof Parliament for Mampong, Francis Addai-Nimoh has said.<\/strong><\/p>\nMr Addai-Nimoh believes Mr Ofori-Atta has kept long at the Finance Ministry therefore, the time has come for him to be sent to another Ministry, either Health or Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n
He also stated that Dr Assibey-Yeboah who also served on the Finance Committee of the 7th Parlaiment, has the requisite skills and competence in Finances to head the Finance Ministry for which he should be considered.<\/p>\n
\u201cA reshuffle of the Finance Minister would have been ideal but the back stops with the president,\u201d he told Johnnie Hughes on the New Day show on TV3 Tuesday September 27.<\/p>\n
He added \u201cOf course I would have reshuffled him to another ministry like Health of Foreign Affairs and replace him with people like Assibey-Yeboah. Assibey-Yeboah is no more and MP and Ofori-Atta is also not an MP.\u201d<\/p>\n
President\u00a0Akufo-Addo recently gave an indication that he was satisfied with the work of his appointees.<\/p>\n
He said that most of his ministers have worked up to expectation. He said their output has been considerable and that is what he looks at.<\/p>\n
Mr Akufo-Addo said these when asked for his views on calls to reshuffle his ministers while speaking on North Star Radio in Tamale as part of his two-day tour of the Northern Region on Monday August 8.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany of them for me have done outstanding work,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir output has been considerable, and that is what I look at,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The president further indicated that \u201cIf the output measures expectations, then I don\u2019t have any strong reasons to heed the call.\u201d<\/p>\n
