Ghana Constitutional Review Committee Proposes Ban on MPs Becoming Ministers

The Constitutional Review Committee has proposed a significant amendment to Ghana’s 1992 Constitution that would prevent sitting Members of Parliament from being appointed as Ministers of State, Deputy Ministers, or Regional Ministers. Under the proposal, any Member of Parliament who resigns during a parliamentary term would also remain ineligible for ministerial or regional appointments until the end of that term. The restriction would apply only for the duration of the mandate for which the individual was elected.

But I believe the time has come for us to look beyond that and focus on legacies that safeguard our democratic future.” Mr Afenyo-Markin’s remarks come amid concerns over partisan interference in public institutions, including the judiciary and state-owned enterprises.
