Don’t sign Public Tribunals Bill – Bawumia to Mahama

Former Vice-President and 2028 New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has appealed to President John Dramani Mahama not to assent to the recently passed Public Tribunals Bill, 2026, until broader national consultations are held.

Dr Bawumia criticised the process through which Parliament passed the Bill, arguing that it was rushed despite concerns raised by the Minority and organised labour.

He urged the President to suspend the assent process and engage key stakeholders, including the Judiciary, Ghana Bar Association, organised labour, civil society groups and political parties.
