Government rejects NPP’s call for Consultative Assembly in constitutional review
The government has dismissed the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) demand for the establishment of a Consultative Assembly as part of the ongoing constitutional review process.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has rejected the government's stance on the ongoing constitutional review process. The opposition party has called for the formation of a Consultative Assembly to deliberate on and draft proposed amendments. However, Minister of State for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, dismissed the NPP's demand as unmerited, stating that the process has been ongoing for nearly two years and that public consultation has been extensive.
He emphasized that the committee chaired by Professor Kwesi Prempeh had traveled across the country, engaging a wide range of groups and individuals, including the NPP itself, prominent citizens, and former presidents. Kwakye Ofosu reiterated that the people of Ghana would ultimately decide on the proposed constitutional amendments, particularly those requiring approval through a referendum.
