Justin Frimpong Kodua, the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has urged fatigued Ministers, CEOs, and MMDCEs to consider resigning rather than undermining the party's progress.

Addressing the issue of non-shuffled appointees who might be experiencing fatigue, Kodua stated, "If you are a Minister, a CEO, or an MMDCE and you have not been reshuffled and you think you are tired, resign, don't sabotage the party."

He also called on President Akufo-Addo to promptly conduct a reshuffle to introduce new faces into the government.

During his address at the party's annual Thanksgiving service at the party headquarters, Mr Kodua asserted that appointing new faces is crucial for propelling the NPP toward achieving its objectives.

"It is time for some changes in the government so we get some new faces to continue. We believe that if we get new appointments, we will be able to retain power in the next election."

President Akuffo-Addo last year shot down calls to reshuffle his ministers.

The President said he is on a daily basis appraised with the performance of his ministers to determine whether they are delivering.

"Several of the people who are responsible for assisting me to steer the country out of the difficulties that we inherited and out of the difficulties that have subsequently come are still in place and many of them for me have done an outstanding work. Their output is been considerable and that's what I look at."
 
"it is a daily preoccupation for I'm required on a daily basis to ask myself whether the output of particular ministers are up to the mark. I am of the final authority and if they are not up to the mark, I'm required to act. But if their output measures the expectations, then I don't have any strong reasons to head the call."
 The President said calls for a reshuffle sometimes have ulterior motives.

“The calls come for all kinds of reasons; NDC wanting to destabilise the government is one. There are people who are also looking for jobs.”
