According to him, "The ongoing reshuffle appears to be one to do with winning an election rather than one aimed at addressing the challenges faced by Ghanaians."
Bawumia in a Facebook post on Wednesday, January 20, 2016, said Ghanaians need a reshuffle that will impact the quality of lives and create jobs and not one intended to win elections.

President John Dramani Mahama on Tuesday, January 20, 2016 appointed former Chief of Staff, Prosper Douglas Bani as the Minister Designate for Interior in his first reshuffle list for 2016.
Prosper Bani was last year February relieved of his post and was replaced with Julius Debrah.
A statement signed by Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, said Mr. Kenneth Wujangi, a Management and Integrated Rural Development Specialist has been made a Deputy Chief of Staff (Operations) at the Flagstaff House.
Fiifi Kwetey replaces Dzifa Attivor who resigned from her position on December 23, 2015 over the controversial GHc3.6 million bus re-branding saga.

Alhaji Mohammed Muniru Limuna has also been appointed the new Minister for Food & Agriculture.
But Dr. Bawumia believes that the ongoing ministerial reshuffle by President Mahama will amount to nothing.
Below is his Facebook post
Reshuffles are normal with all governments. However, with the record of the current government and the current state of the Ghanaian economy with its attendant hardships, what the people of Ghana desire is a reshuffling / change from amongst others:• the hardships that afflict our people;• the unprecedented joblessness affecting the Ghanaian youth; • the astronomic increases in taxes, utility prices and fuel; • the cancellation of teacher and nursing training allowances; • the decline of agriculture and manufacturing and • the unprecedented corruption under this government• the incompetent economic management of this government.The ongoing reshuffle appears to be one to do with winning an election rather than one aimed at addressing the challenges faced by Ghanaians. In this regard, I am convinced that the ongoing reshuffle by the President will be meaningless. Thankfully, the ultimate Reshuffle will be done on November 7th by the people of Ghana.
