A former Member of Parliament for Mampong, Francis Addai-Nimoh has advised Akufo-Addo to replace finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta with former Member of Parliament for New Juabeng South, Dr Mark Assibey-Yeboah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to him, Ken Ofori-Atta has been in the same position for too long and needs to be replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He suggested that Ken Ofori-Atta should be taken to the Ministry of Health or Foreign Ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA reshuffle of the finance minister would have been ideal but the backstops with the president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOf course, I would have reshuffled him to another ministry like Health or Foreign Affairs and replace him with people like Assibey-Yeboah. Assibey-Yeboah is no more an MP and Ofori-Atta is also not an MP,\u201d he said New Day show on TV3 Tuesday September 27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Akufo-Addo has insisted he is currently impressed with the work of his appointees hence there will not be a reshuffle anytime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He explained that his ministers\u2019 outputs have been considerable and outstanding and that is what he looks out for in his appointees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMany of them for me have done outstanding work. Their output has been considerable, and that is what I look at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf the output measures expectations, then I don\u2019t have any strong reasons to heed the call,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
