Key Points
- The Architects Act, 1969 (NLCD 357) is severely outdated, enacted 57 years ago and predating the 1992 Constitution.
- This outdated law creates constitutional tensions by compelling professional association membership, limits accountability, and causes regulatory blind spots for many built-environment professionals.
- It hinders Ghana's efforts to address critical challenges such as housing deficits, urban congestion, and infrastructure quality.
- The article calls for urgent executive action to initiate a comprehensive review and reform of the Act.
- Proposed steps include a transparent, inclusive stakeholder process to establish a modern regulatory framework aligned with the 1992 Constitution and international best practices.
