Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has called for changes to Ghana’s governance structure. He believes the country needs more checks on the power of the president.
Mr. Kufuor suggested creating a second advisory chamber. This body would not be elected. Its main job would be to advise the president and improve accountability.
He explained that the current Council of State is not sufficient. It does not provide enough oversight for the executive branch.
The former president shared these views in a recent interview. He expressed concern about the balance of power in Ghana’s government.
Mr. Kufuor did not specify the exact powers or composition of the proposed new body. He stressed the importance of strengthening the systems that hold the presidency accountable.
The proposal aims to improve Ghana’s democratic processes. It focuses on ensuring that leaders serve the public interest effectively.
This idea suggests a need for ongoing evaluation of existing governance models. Ghana continues to seek ways to improve its democratic institutions.
