To forward the delayed constitutional review process, President John Dramani Mahama has announced intentions to hold a National Constitutional Review Validation Conference.
The new NDC administration’s commitment to bolstering Ghana’s legal system and guaranteeing judicial independence includes this project.
President Mahama emphasized the value of justice and peace as the cornerstones of the country’s ambitions during his remarks at the 92nd Jalsa Salana of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission Ghana at Gomoa Pomadze in Winneba in the Central region on Thursday, January 9, 2025.
The President highlighted the administration’s dedication to addressing systemic inequalities within the justice system.
“Justice and peace are the bedrock of our national aspirations, and as the Holy Quran reminds us, we are called to uphold justice even against ourselves…Justice must always not only be done but must be seen to be done and must be felt by all. Justice is a moral compass that must guide our every decision, every law, and every interaction in our nation,”
“To this end, the new NDC administration is resolutely committed to strengthening our justice system to ensure judicial independence and address the systemic inequalities that currently exist. I can assure you that this administration will work tirelessly to ensure that every Ghanaian, regardless of your status or background, is treated with dignity and afforded equal protection under the law,”
“To achieve this objective of justice, we would have to move the stalled constitutional review process forward. To achieve this, I will soon establish a committee to begin the planning of a National Constitutional Review Validation Conference, to achieve broad consensus on the way forward for the constitutional amendments that we have all proposed,”
