The Commission encouraged the public to participate by watching the live streams on the Committee’s official social media platforms (@CRCGH25 on YouTube and Facebook).
Additionally, the Committee continues to invite submissions from the public, which can be sent via email to [email protected], submitted online through the official website www.constitutionreviewgh.org, or delivered in person to the CRC Secretariat at the Office of the President Annex in Ridge-Accra.
These initiatives seek to promote inclusive involvement and guarantee that a range of viewpoints inform the constitutional amendments, stressed Rainer Akumperigya, PhD, Secretary of the Constitution Review Committee.
