The recent ministerial reshuffle by President Akufo-Addo has faced staunch criticism from the Minority in Parliament, with accusations of being uninspiring and lacking substance.

In a released statement, Minority Leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson described the reshuffle as nothing more than a "mere remix of the Akufo-Addo and Alhaji Bawumia’s failed government."

Expressing skepticism, Dr. Forson asserted that the reshuffle, occurring just nine months before the government's departure, would not alleviate the suffering caused by what he labeled as bad governance and rampant corruption within the Akufo-Addo and Alhaji Bawumia administration.

He questioned the potential impact of the newly appointed officials in the remaining nine months, highlighting economic challenges and alleged mismanagement by Alhaji Bawumia and his economic team.

Dr. Forson stated, "It is also a little too late, coming barely nine (9) months before the exit of the government. Neither will it solve the suffering and hardships confronting the people of Ghana as a result of the bad governance and massive uncontrolled corruption of the Akufo-Addo and Alhaji Bawumia’s government."

The Minority further criticized the government's track record, citing excessive borrowing, unsustainable debt, economic crises, high tax appetite, poor governance, wasteful expenditures, and alleged siphoning of state resources into private pockets.

Dr. Forson concluded by expressing the belief that President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Alhaji Bawumia should resign to truly address the hardships faced by Ghanaians.

“The tenure of this government has been characterised by excessive borrowing, unsustainable debt, an economic crisis, high appetite for taxes, poor governance, reckless wasteful expenditures, siphoning of state resources into private pockets of government appointees, as well as state capture by family and friends of the President andhis Vice.”

“For the records, President Akufo-Addo has at all material times remained obstinate and defiant when the subject of reshuffle came up for discussion. For example, he rebuffed nearly 100 NPP Members of Parliament who demanded the immediate resignation of outgoing Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta,” he stated.

“The NDC Minority believes that the best way to end the suffering and hardships of Ghanaians would have been for both President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Alhaji Bawumia to resign,” he added.
