Policy

Key Points

  • President John Mahama is set to chair a special Cabinet meeting on Thursday, May 14th.

  • A draft position paper, prepared by the Attorney General and the President’s legal team after extensive consultations, will be presented.
  • The approved position paper will be subsequently made public to inform Ghanaians of the government's views on the review process.
  • Following the adoption of the position paper, the government plans to establish an implementation committee to carry out the accepted, amended, or rejected proposals.

Why This Matters
