President Mahama to Receive Constitutional Review Committee Report Today
President John Dramani Mahama is expected to receive the final report of the Constitutional Review Committee today, Monday, December 22, at the Presidency in Accra.
The committee, chaired by Professor H. Kwasi Prempeh, Executive Director of the Ghana Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana), was mandated to review the 1992 Constitution and propose reforms to strengthen Ghana’s democratic governance framework.
The presentation of the report, scheduled for 2:00 p.m., brings to a close several months of nationwide consultations and technical analysis conducted by the eight-member committee.
Other members of the committee include Justice Sophia Adinyira, a retired Supreme Court Justice; Professor Kwame Karikari; former Electoral Commission Chairperson Charlotte Osei; Dr Godwin Djokoto; Ibrahim Tanko Amidu; Dr Esi Ansah; and Dr Rainer Akumperigeya.
Although the committee was inaugurated on January 30 with an initial deadline of August, the volume and complexity of submissions received from the public required a three-month extension to enable the panel to complete its work.
