Before leaving Accra for Nairobi, I signed into law three transformative bills recently passed by Parliament. The Legal Education Act, the Value for Money Office Act, and the Governance Advisory Council Act strengthen our institutions and protect the interests of every Ghanaian.

The Legal Education Act is a game-changer for our justice system. By ending the exclusive authority of the Ghana School of Law over professional legal education, we are introducing healthy competition and opening doors for more institutions to provide high-quality training. This ensures that we maintain the highest standards while creating the space many aspiring lawyers have long waited for.

With the Value for Money Office Act, we are institutionalising the review of major government contracts and expenditures. This office will be our frontline defence against inflated contracts, cost overruns, and wasteful spending. Every cedi spent must provide real value to the people of Ghana.

I am also proud to have signed the Governance Advisory Council Act. This fulfils a key promise I made to promote good governance and public trust. This independent body will help our efforts to combat corruption. It also ensures that leadership remains accountable to the people.

GHANA BATTALION POSITION IN SOUTHERN LEBANON COMES UNDER MISSILE ATTACK

[Osagyefo Oliver Barker-Vormawor @barkervogues]

I have spent much of this week, and the hours since this morning, reading through the recommendations of the Fiadjoe Constitution Review Commission’s Report and the more recent proposals emerging from the work of the CRC II led by Prof H. Kwasi Prempeh.

Page after page, one encounters something rare in Ghanaian public policy. Genuine imagination about how Ghana might govern itself better. There is so much intellectual labour in these documents. So much patience. So much belief that our country can work better than it currently does.

What stands out most is the seriousness of the proposals. Attempts to address the structural tensions in our constitutional design, the governance bottlenecks that frustrate accountability, and the democratic deficits that so many Ghanaians feel but cannot always name.

It leaves me with one hope.

That President @JDMahama will embrace constitutional reform as the defining legacy of his presidency.

Buildings can always be recommissioned. Highways will always see new sod cuttings. Governments will come and go announcing projects and programmes.

But repairing the architecture of our democracy is different. Fixing the governance gridlock that slows our institutions, distorts accountability, and weakens public trust would be a contribution that outlives any single administration.

Constitutional reform is about the long future of the Republic and rebuilding hope in a new generation of young people who have lost that hope.

And I find myself, perhaps more excited than I expected, at the thought of something simple but profound: walking into a polling station one day soon to vote in a referendum that gives Ghana a stronger constitutional foundation.

To a new Ghana

[Ghana Presidency @GhanaPresidency]

President John Dramani Mahama has left Addis Ababa at the end of the 39th African Union Summit.

During the Summit, President Mahama hosted a side event, the Addis Reckoning of the Accra Reset Initiative where he announced sweeping reforms aimed at strengthening Ghana’s economic sovereignty.

This include plans for Ghana to purchase its cocoa in domestic currency and cease the export of raw mineral ores from 2030.

Reflecting on years of engagement across continental and global platforms, the President in his remarks at the Accra Reset side event, said the moment now demands bold, coordinated action.

President Mahama attended the heads of state meeting on the APRM and hosted two other events on African Financial Management Institutions and on Reparations.

He announced that Ghana will table a landmark resolution before the United Nations General Assembly in March, on behalf of Africa for a global recognition of the Transatlantic Slave Trade as the gravest crime against humanity.

[John Dramani Mahama @JDMahama]

As I announced during the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in September last year, I have initiated processes to table a resolution at the General Assembly in March this year, seeking global recognition of the Transatlantic Slave Trade as the gravest crime against humanity.

Reparatory justice will not be handed to us. Like independence, it must be secured through unity and determination.

In my report to the Assembly of the African Union Heads of State this morning on advancing the cause of justice and the payment of reparations to Africans and people of African descent, I observed that 2025, designated as the African Union Year of Justice through Reparations, has marked a turning point.

We have established the AU Coordination Team and Committee of Experts on Reparations, engaged global institutions from the UN to UNESCO, led conversations at major international fora across four continents, and reframed reparations as forward-looking instruments for justice and equity.

But our work is far from over. I called on all Member States to strengthen our institutions, establish national reparations commissions, and engage with the global community to secure apologies, restitution, and binding agreements.

[Kwaku Asante @kwakuasanteb]

What a silly country! No regard for life. Absolutely none!

All three major hospitals did not admit the victim, nor did the staff offer emergency care, even when the ambulance EMT offered to wait and use the ambulance trolley; staff at the Police Hospital said there was no space within the facility.

During the almost three hours, no hospital staff attended to the casualty, nor were vital signs taken in the three places.

At Korle Bu, the EMT from the ambulance service had negotiated that, due to the deterioration of the patient’s condition, they were objecting to further transportation and explained that continued movement could place the patient in a dangerous situation.

https://t.co/McJvDYDD0B

This was when Korle Bu, which was the third hospital they had been to that night, rejected the victim and advised the crew to continue to transport him to the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) at Legon.

However, despite several negotiations, the victim was still refused, and no hospital staff attended to the casualty, nor were vital signs taken.

The victim went through the ordeal for close to three hours in the hands of the ambulance personnel before going into cardiac arrest, and even though cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was immediately initiated by the ambulance EMT, it yielded no positive outcome.

The victim died, and it was only then that one Dr. Nkrumah, who was on duty at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, came out to certify the patient dead and instructed the crew to convey the body to the mortuary.

Having traveled to 39 countries within Africa, I am committed to encouraging African youth to embrace the Borderless Africa conversation. Africa is home to every African. It’s time to unlock opportunities across the continent, not just in our countries of origin because when you play on home ground, you score more goals.

I welcomed and held productive discussions with João Cravinho, the European Union Special Representative for the Sahel, on Tuesday. The meeting focused on reinforcing the strategic partnership between Ghana and the EU as we work together to address critical challenges related to security, governance, and development in the Sahel Region.

I reaffirmed Ghana's commitment to proactive diplomacy in mediating relations with the Alliance of Sahel States of Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger. Ghana believes that creating a unified regional platform, including a revitalised Accra Initiative, is essential to effectively combat terrorism and violent extremism in our sub-region.

Ghana's developmental achievements provide a strong foundation for resilience, but we recognise the need for continued capacity building in key areas.

I am pleased that the EU will continue supporting Ghana's efforts to enhance maritime security in the Gulf of Guinea, and we have committed to expediting the EU-Ghana Security and Defence Partnership.

Before the official launch of the MTN Elite U-19 Championship, the Championship Committee, which I have the privilege to chair, held a brief meeting with the chairmen of the various Regional Football Associations on the modalities of the championship.

We have resolved to work together to organize an exciting competition that will unearth the next generation of great football talents.
