The Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, has assured that the December 7 elections will not hinder the progress of the Constitution Review Consultative Committee’s work.
Formed by the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs, the Committee’s mandate is to gather input on potential amendments to the 1992 Constitution.
Addressing concerns about the timing, given the elections are just three months away, Mr Kyei-Mensah stressed that the electoral process would not disrupt the Committee’s activities.
“I have heard some people suggest that during an election year, there is little that can be done regarding constitutional amendments. With the greatest respect, I disagree. All the amendments to the 1992 Republican Constitution were made in 1996.
“Following the elections in November and December, the amendments were implemented in 1996. Therefore, I believe that time will not prevent us from continuing the consultations as planned.”
