Trades Union Congress Warns Against Extending Ghanaian Presidential Term Without Safeguards

TUC Secretary General Joshua Ansah said the union had taken note of the Constitution Review Committee’s recommendation to amend Article 66 to extend the presidential tenure and the government’s acceptance of the proposal.
