Parliament has passed the Ghana Boundary Commission Bill, 2023, following its third reading on December 18, 2024.
The new law is expected to enhance the country’s ability to address boundary demarcation and disputes effectively.
The Commissioner General of the Ghana Boundary Commission, Major General Dr. Emmanuel Wekem Kotia, expressed optimism about the bill’s passage.
He emphasised that it will empower the Commission to manage boundary issues with greater authority.
Dr. Kotia highlighted that the new law aligns the Commission’s mandate with international best practices.
It also grants the body the ability to implement social interventions aimed at easing the challenges faced by residents in deprived border communities.
“The passage of this bill strengthens our mandate, and I believe Ghana will be the ultimate winner as we work toward resolving boundary-related issues,” Dr. Kotia remarked.
The law marks a significant step forward in bolstering Ghana’s efforts to maintain peace and stability along its borders while improving the lives of those in border areas.
