Accra, July 17, Ghanadot -
President John Evans Atta Mills has dismissed media reports
of an imminent ministerial reshuffle.
The Ghanaian Observer and Today Newspaper on Wednesday July
15 reported that the President will scrap the office of the
presidential spokesperson with Mahama Ayariga, who is
currently his spokesperson, moving to the Information
Ministry.
The report further said, Dr. Ekwow Spio Garbrah, was to take
over from Mohammed Mumuni as Foreign Minister.
But President Mills said those speculations are unfounded
and wondered what was the source of the publications.
President Mills however told reporters in Egypt where the
Non-Aligned Movement meeting is taking place on Thursday
July 16 that a reshuffle will be done at his own discretion,
saying he would not be pressured into reshuffling his
ministers.
"I have confidence in my current ministers and I think they
have so far show commitment to help me fulfill the promise I
made to Ghanaians", he added.
Some of the ministers, he admitted, have taken time to get
used to their portfolios, but was generally impressed with
their performance so far.
