President John Dramani Mahama has expressed satisfaction with the progress of work so far on the review of the constitution and pledged his government’s continued support.

He said this on Tuesday March 4, when he hosted members of the Constitution Review Committee at its maiden stakeholder engagement.

The eight-member committee, chaired by Prof. H. Kwasi Prempeh, engaged the President to seek his thoughts on the review of the constitution and learn about areas he believed required amendment.

The committee also took the opportunity during the engagement to brief the President on their work so far and on areas where they needed additional support.

The President, while appreciating the work done so far, highlighted issues such as the election of MMDCEs, the emoluments of Article 71 office holders, and the appointment of Ministers from Parliament as areas in need of amendment to strengthen Ghana’s governance arrangements.
