President John Dramani Mahama is today chairing a crucial special cabinet meeting to determine the government’s official position on Ghana’s constitution review recommendations.
The meeting marks a major step in the constitutional reform process following months of legal and administrative scrutiny by the attorney general and the president’s legal advisers.
Government spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu confirmed that a draft position paper on the proposed constitutional amendments is now ready for Cabinet consideration and approval.
According to him, President Mahama had earlier directed that the review committee’s report undergo a detailed legal analysis before the government adopted any official stance on the proposed reforms.
Mr. Kwakye Ofosu explained that the constitutional review process differs from a standard commission of inquiry exercise, requiring the government to issue a “position paper” rather than the usual “white paper.”
He noted that once the Cabinet approves the document, it will serve as the government’s official blueprint for responding to the constitutional reform proposals and paving the way for implementation.
The outcome of today’s meeting is expected to shape the next phase of Ghana’s constitutional reform agenda.
