11-member committee inaugurated to implement constitutional reforms

The Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, has officially inaugurated an 11-member Constitution Review Implementation Committee (CRIC) in Ghana. The committee, led by Presidential Legal Counsel and former Attorney-General Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong, has been tasked with turning the country's accepted constitutional reform proposals into law.

The committee was sworn in at the Law House in Accra on August 28, following the release of the government's position paper on recommendations from the previous Constitution Review Committee chaired by Professor H. Kwesi Prempeh. Dr Ayine has set a strict timeline for the committee, stating that the first set of constitutional amendment Bills, covering non-entrenched provisions, must be ready for Parliament by November 2026.

The committee is expected to deliver its work in a bipartisan manner and within a specific timeframe, focusing strictly on converting the accepted recommendations into workable measures.
