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.

Fellow Ghanaians, God has already given us peace but whether we will live to enjoy this peace everyday depends on our actions.
Do not allow anyone to incite you to cause trouble. And please stay out of trouble!

Dear Ghanaians, you don’t need antibiotics every time you feel unwell.
Not every illness is an infection and not every infection requires the use of antibiotics.
I don’t know how we’ll do it but this message must reach everybody.
