The survey by ASEPA has been greeted with varied reactions by the public as well as many within the academia who are alarmed by the increasing spate of weak political relationship between government and the electorates.

The 2019 ASEPA assessment report of ministers of state under the Akufo Addo led administration is among many political researches which have been done by Think Tanks at some premier universities in the country.

Mr Asante Okyere says, the outcome of the report is worrying and suggested that president Akufo-Addo relieve his non-performing ministers of their posts.

He noted that some government appointees are arrogant and have poor human relations which in effect gives the government bad image.
