Vice President Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has admonished the Council of State to be an effective and accountable advisory body.
The Vice President believes this would help them in contributing to the “Resetting of Ghana” agenda of President John Dramani Mahama.
Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang made the remarks at the first official engagement with the Council of State during an orientation for its members on Monday, February 24, 2025, at Peduase Lodge.
She opined that being proactive will help dispel the negative assertions the Ghanaian public has about the Council of State.
“Respectfully, you must therefore endeavour to contribute to the shaping of governance policy and ensure that major policy choices are meticulously guided by the principles of accountability, equity, and long-term interest. Your tenure must redefine the council’s role, transforming it from a passively advisory body to an active institution that can anticipate challenges, offer bold recommendations, and demand accountability.
“This requires engaging proactively, addressing policy gaps, commissioning research and ensuring government discussions prioritise the public’s interest,” she added.
