The Constitution Review Committee (CRC) has said it remains committed to a transparent, inclusive and participatory constitutional review process that reflects citizens' aspirations and collective will.

It has, therefore, urged the public to take advantage of the remaining window to submit written memoranda to the Committee through the official CRC email: submissions @constitutionrewewgh.org.

Final session

The CRC, in a statement signed and issued by the Secretary to the Committee, Dr Rainer Akumperigya, said the committee will officially close all public engagements tomorrow (Wednesday, August 6, 2025) following scheduled consultative sessions with the Council of State and the Trades Union Congress (TUC).

The statement said this formed part of its final steps in the public consultation phase.

“In light of this, the public is reminded and encouraged to take advantage of the remaining window to submit written memoranda to the committee,” it said.

It said it followed a successful conclusion of its nationwide zonal engagements across the country, with the final session held in Kumasi last Friday (August 1).

These engagements formed a crucial part of the committee’s public consultation process to gather Ghanaians' views and proposals towards reviewing the 1992 Constitution. 

Gratitude

The committee extended its profound gratitude to the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) for its invaluable partnership in organising the zonal engagements.

The CRC also acknowledged, with deep appreciation, the support and participation of chiefs, Tindaana, traditional leaders, regional ministers, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs), Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) and the general public whose contributions ensured the success of the engagements across the country. 

Background

President John Dramani Mahama established the CRC on January 25 under the chairperson of Professor H. Kwasi Prempeh.

It is tasked to identify key areas of the Constitution that need updating to align with the country’s evolving democratic and socio-economic realities.

Its mandate involves reviewing past recommendations, engaging relevant stakeholders and suggesting reforms to strengthen Ghana’s governance system.
