President John Dramani Mahama has announced plans to set up a committee early next year to implement the recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee (CRC).
Speaking after receiving the CRC’s final report in Accra on Monday, December 22, President Mahama said some members of the review committee would be invited to serve on the implementation panel to ensure continuity and an effective transfer of institutional knowledge.
He emphasised that the government would first conduct a careful study of the report before taking further action.
“I have handed it over to the Legal Council and the Attorney-General. They will review it, and we will see how to synchronise our views,” the President said.
The Constitution Review Committee, chaired by Professor Henry Kwasi Prempeh, formally presented its final report on Monday.
The report proposes a range of constitutional reforms, including the separation of the executive from Parliament, extending the presidential term from four to five years, clarifying that the Constitution does not permit a third presidential term, and restructuring the Council of State to reflect its original 1969 composition.
Additional recommendations focus on redefining the role of chiefs in local governance, improving public sector appointment processes, and reducing partisanship within state institutions and public services.
