Mahama convenes special Cabinet meeting on Constitutional Review proposals tomorrow, May 14
John Mahama will chair a special Cabinet meeting tomorrow, May 14, to decide government's position on proposals captured in the constitutional review process. According to government spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu, a draft position paper has already been prepared after extensive consultations by the Attorney General and the President's legal team. "So tomorrow, Thursday, 14th May, there will be a special cabinet session chaired by the president himself to consider the draft position paper."
Felix Kwakye Ofosu said the approved position paper would later be made public for Ghanaians to understand government's views on the review process. He clarified that, unlike a commission of inquiry, the constitutional review committee does not require the issuance of a white paper. "Mind you, because this is not a commission government is not required to issue a white paper." The constitutional review process was the main reason for the meeting.
Government is already preparing to move into the implementation phase once Cabinet approves the document. "Once the position paper is adopted and approved, then we'll move to setting up an implementation committee," said Felix Kwakye Ofosu. Government would decide which proposals to adopt, amend or reject.
