President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his commitment to constitutional reforms, assuring the newly established Constitution Review Committee that their work will not be in vain.
He said that this initiative would not become another unfulfilled reform effort but rather a turning point in Ghana’s governance.
Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony of the Constitutional Review Committee members on Thursday, January 30, President Mahama charged the committee to carefully examine past recommendations, identify necessary changes, and develop a clear roadmap for meaningful constitutional amendments.
He stressed that this process must lead to action rather than remain another chapter in Ghana’s history of stalled reforms.

“Understand the weight of responsibility that comes with this task, and I assure you that your work will not be in vain. This will not be an exercise in futility. We are determined to see this process through and have every confidence in your ability to deliver results that will serve both present and future generations of Ghanaians,” President Mahama declared.
The committee members comprise the following: Prof. H Kwasi Prempeh – Chairman; Justice Sophia Adinyirah – Member; Prof. Kwame Karikari – Member; Mrs Charlotte Osei – Member; Dr Godwin Djokoto – Member; Ibrahim Tanko Amidu – Member; Dr Esi Ansah – Member; Dr Rainer Akumperigeya – Secretary.
President Mahama further expressed confidence in the committee’s composition, noting that members were selected based on integrity, expertise, and commitment to Ghana’s progress, rather than political considerations.
Additionally, he urged them to engage widely with citizens, ensuring that the revised constitution reflects the values, hopes, and dreams of all Ghanaians.
