NPP unimpressed with reshuffle : Bawumia

The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) 2016 Vice-Presidential Candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has described the government’s latest reshuffle as meaningless.

He conceded that reshuffles were ‘normal’ government actions but expressed misgivings that the reshuffle was targeted at electoral gains instead of addressing the socio-economic needs of Ghanaians that would lead to an improved economy.

President John Mahama announced 10 changes in his government last Tuesday. The major talking point is the nomination of former Chief of Staff, Prosper Douglas Bani. He makes a comeback as the minister-designate for the Interior.

Unimpressed

But the opposition parties are unimpressed.

“The ongoing reshuffle appears to be one to do with winning an election rather than one aimed at addressing the challenges faced by Ghanaians,” he said in a facebook page posted yesterday.

Dr Bawumia, however, stressed that Ghanaians would vote out the government on November 7 when the nation is expected to go to the polls.

“Thankfully, the ultimate reshuffle will be done on November 7 by the people of Ghana,” Dr Bawumia stated.
