Speaker of Parliament, Alhaji Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has directed that the Constitution Amendment Bill 2025 be scheduled for laying before Parliament. The instruction empowers the Business Committee to determine the appropriate timing for parliamentary deliberation on the bill, paving the way for debate and legislative scrutiny.
The Constitution Amendment Bill 2025 seeks to introduce changes to Ghana’s supreme law, though details of the proposed amendments have yet to be formally outlined in the House. The scheduling of the bill marks an important step in Ghana’s legislative process, allowing Members of Parliament to examine, debate, and potentially propose revisions before a vote is conducted.
The Speaker emphasised that adherence to parliamentary procedures is crucial to ensure that the bill is properly considered and debated, reflecting the interests of Ghanaians. Lawmakers and stakeholders are expected to follow the progress closely, given the potential impact of constitutional amendments on governance, institutions, and national policy.
