Minority Chief Whip Governs Kwame Agbodza says the reshuffling of ministers by President Nana Akufo-Addo will prove futile.
According to Mr. Agbodza, the current state of the country’s economy demands more than merely the reshuffling of ministers.
“Akufo Addo’s reshuffle today will not be comprehensive enough to deal with the economic challenges we have,” he wrote on Twitter.

In a separate tweet the Minority Chief Whip questioned the rationale behind the use of portolio called Minister of State at the Presidency.
“I have all the respect for the individuals nominated. But what is the use of a portfolio called minister of State at the Presidency currently?” Agbodza wondered.
