Private Legal Practitioner, Martin Kpebu has called for the repeal of Section 1 of Article 78 of the 1992 Constitution.
The provision requires the President of Ghana to appoint majority of his ministers from among parliamentarians.
Kpebu made the call on the Super Morning Show on Joy FM, Thursday, October 3, while backing the demand for a constitutional review, explaining that the "constitution needs a lot of heavy substantial amendments." According to him, members of parliament who double as ministers of state use their positions to acquire funds from private institutions that they award contracts to.
He alleged that ministers receive 10% or more shares of the money paid to contractors by the state when they so arrange the contracts.
