The eight-member committee, led by Prof. Henry Kwasi Prempeh, comprises distinguished individuals renowned for their expertise and dedication to public service.
The committee’s mandate is to identify gaps and challenges in previous constitutional review efforts, engage stakeholders, and propose recommendations to strengthen democratic governance.
