Following last Thursday's cabinet reshuffle, investigations conducted by the ''Independent'' has revealed that one group of people who find themselves in a fix are Special Assistants/Advisors. They do not know whether to stay or move with the Ministers who have been reassigned.
Though some of the reshuffled Ministers are yet to come to terms with what hit them last Thursday, the case of Special Assistants/Advisors is said to be one of utter confusion.
One Special Assistant was overhead saying that President Kufuor should have informed them before announcing the reshuffle.
"The Independent" quotes sources at the Presidency as saying that a number of Special Assistants have been making discreet calls and enquiries to the Castle on their fate.
In the case of Ferdinand Ayim, Special Assistant at the Ministry of Information, his outgoing boss has requested that he moves along with him to the Ministry of Tourism whereas incoming Information Minister, Nana Akomea has expressed interest in working with him.
The sources however told the paper that the Special Assistants were appointed by the President and any changes will therefore have to be done with him.
