Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 69674, member: 636"] The former Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, has strongly opposed any suggestion to amend the constitutional clause limiting presidents to two terms. He stated that such proposals endanger democratic foundations and must be stopped. He cited Article 66(2) of the Constitution as being unequivocal on this matter. Speaking at a lecture for the Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences, he also identified weaknesses in the country's presidential transition process. He noted issues like administrative chaos and under-resourced teams during government handovers. To address these, he recommended establishing a dedicated transition trust fund and strengthening the role of the Administrator-General to ensure a more professional and seamless transfer of power.
