Former Health Minister Kwaku Agyemang-Manu has conveyed his appreciation to President Akufo-Addo for the opportunity to serve in the ministerial role.

The Dormaa Central MP disclosed that the president personally informed him of his removal in a February 14 reshuffle.

Agyemang-Manu mentioned that President Akufo-Addo provided valid reasons for his decision to replace him as the health minister.

He sees the reshuffling as part of the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) strategy to break the eight-year cycle in governance.

"This reshuffling will help me do something different in my life. If I tell you the number of times I have seen the sun, you will marvel. This is because I remained dedicated to the job I was given as a minister.

"I am proud of what I have achieved as a minister. I have achieved a lot. I have no regrets. I know what I have achieved," he said in an interview.
