President John Dramani Mahama has announced that the long-awaited final report of the Constitutional Review Committee will be submitted to him on December 22.
The Committee, chaired by Prof. H. Kwesi Prempeh, has spent several months gathering nationwide opinions on proposed amendments to Ghana’s 1992 Constitution. President Mahama noted that the Committee had previously briefed him, sharing preliminary findings during a meeting three weeks ago.
“They met me three weeks ago and made a presentation of some of the findings they were going to make. They are quite interesting. They intend to present the final results on December 22. Once the final report is presented, we will make it known to the rest of the nation,” he said during discussions with the National Peace Council at Jubilee House on Wednesday, December 10.
The President also addressed the ongoing debate about the rights of Muslim students in mission schools, emphasizing the need to respect diversity in all educational institutions. He highlighted that existing agreements governing faith-based schools already provide for accommodating different religious practices and reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to ensuring all students are treated fairly and with dignity.
