If they weren\u2019t, then the president right from there could have taken certain measures and steps to see how he could reshuffle, let me say the pawns on the chessboard, in order to be able to win the game, he didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPersistent calls from civil society organizations, the clergies, some party faithful, the oppositions, in fact as for us if he didn\u2019t listen to us, I wasn\u2019t worried because I knew he wasn\u2019t going to listen to us in any way. But when the pressure is coming from your own party, some of the council of elders, some of your party supporters, your members of parliament, Civil society organizations, these are the people who are doing day-to-day assessment of your men on the field. And sometimes when you sit at the top because your interaction is limited to people who you have chosen to serve, you don\u2019t turn to hear the other side of the story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter!\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1f310.svg.svg+xml\" alt=\"\ud83c\udf10\" data-pin-no-hover=\"true\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1f4f0.svg.svg+xml\" alt=\"\ud83d\udcf0\" data-pin-no-hover=\"true\"\/>\u00a0#StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Member of Parliament for Odododiodoo, Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye, has stated that the president\u2019s ego prevented him from heeding stakeholders\u2019 input regarding the recent Ministerial reshuffle.
