Inusah Fuseini opposes proposal to extend presidential term to five years

He argued that President John Dramani Mahama's second administration has demonstrated that governments do not need additional time to begin fulfilling their mandate, insisting that a purposeful government can make significant progress within its first year in office.

Speaking on Citi FM on Monday, August 3, Mr Fuseini rejected suggestions that the first year of every administration is largely spent settling into office while the final year is consumed by election activities.

The Constitution Review Committee's report contains a range of proposals, some of which the government has accepted, modified or rejected as part of efforts to reform the country's constitutional framework.
