The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has expressed disappointment in President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s ministerial reshuffle.
The party said it was expecting some level of change amidst Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s promise to cut down the size of government officials to 50.
General Secretary of the NDC, Fifi Kwetey, at a press conference in Accra on Wednesday, said that the reshuffle “starkly reflects a government in disarray, obstinately disconnected from the realities of its people. Despite the vociferous appeals from Ghanaians, civil society, the clergy, academicians, and think tanks to trim the bloated size of government—a glaring drain on our nation’s scarce resources—this administration has once again turned a deaf ear.”
“Today’s reshuffle by President Akufo-Addo, rather than offering a beacon of hope for a leaner, more efficient government, has instead upheld the status quo. It is a profound disappointment and a missed opportunity to heed the people’s calls for change. This action—or rather, inaction—underscores a blatant disregard for the nation’s plea for governance that puts the people’s welfare above political expediency.”
