A member of the ninth Council of State, Justice Sophia Akuffo has assured Ghanaians that the Council will perform its task to the best ability.

The former Chief Justice said Ghanaians should not expect the members of the Council of State to be mere followers but capable of executing their constitutional mandate to the latter.

She gave the assurance in an interview on TV3's Hot Issues, Sunday, February 23, 2025. "Nobody should expect this Council of State to be a bunch of 'YES' people with a head mentality just following along but being serious and steady and critical and applying outmost integrity to what we will be doing," she stated.

Referencing the constitutional mandate of the Council of State, Madam Sophia Akuffo noted that Council of State as envisaged by the constitution is not intended to be partisan institution, rather it is made up of people with experience, set up to advise the President.
