Mahama's Reshuffle Shows A President Willing To Work With His Critics
Deputy Minister for Communication, Information and
Media Relations, Felix Kwakye Ofosu has described
the latest Ministerial reshuffle by President John
Mahama as a remarkable departure from the past.

He indicated that 'The reshuffle was one of the
most anticipated events on the governance
calendar. Indeed there was no Ghanaian who was not
looking forward to hearing the final list from his
Excellency President John Mahama'.

He believes the President has done his part,
saying that the onus now lies on the appointees to
deliver on their portfolios to justify the trust
that his Excellency the President has reposed in
them.

In an interview with Radio Gold's Alhassan
Suhuyini on Alhaji and Alhaji Saturday, Felix
Kwakye Ofosu stated that 'the President kept his
cards close to his chest and dictated the pace in
this particular exercise'.

To him, it is evident from the inventory that lots
of contemplation went into the naming of the
individuals on that list.

He maintained that the list is an obvious
indication that President Mahama is a leader who
is enthused to give opportunity to people from
varied destination.

'This clearly shows a president who is willing to
tap the expertise of all Ghanaians to help move
the nation forward. It shows a president who is
willing to include people who may have disagreed
with him, criticized him or his party in the
past', he pointed out.

He observed that the list also divulged an
excellent intermingle of experience and longevity,
adding that it would be complex for a nation to
develop without falling back on the vast knowledge
and experience of individuals who have being there
before.

'These are people who have being around for quite
some time There are also some who are relatively
unknown on the political radar but none the less,
they have performed creditably in their areas of
endeavor', he noted.

According to him, what appears apparent from this
upsurge is that President Mahama is determined to
accelerate the velocity of rolling out his
agenda.

The Deputy Minister further noted that 'the
president is concerned about the need to inject
some dynamism and expedited actions in the
delivery on the mandate that the people of Ghana
has bestowed on him.
