President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his commitment to the establishment of the Governance Advisory Council (GAC).
President made this statement when he met representatives of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) at the Jubilee House to deliberate on the formation of a proposed Governance Advisory Council, a key promise from his 2024 presidential campaign.
The high level meeting, forms part of broader efforts by the Mahama administration to enhance transparency, accountability, and integrity in Ghana’s governance architecture.
“This is a key promise from my campaign, which is intended to enhance accountability and transform our governance system”, President Mahama stressed.
He explained that the Council will be an independent watchdog, monitoring human rights, corruption, and overall governance in Ghana.
“An annual report on human rights, corruption, and governance will be key to transparency and progress. I am committed to creating a transparent, accountable government that reflects the values of our beloved country”, he added.
The CSOs which included IMANI Ghana’s Franklin Cudjoe, GJA President Albert Dwumfour, ACEP’s Ben Boakye amongst others, all of whom commended the President for his commitment to the GAC and assured him of their unflinching support to make it a reality.
Senior Presidential Staffer Dr. Valerie Sawyerr was appointed as the Co-ordinator to engage the CSOs and arrive at the modalities.
