The Ministry of Information will hold the maiden Constitution Day Public Lecture on Monday January 7 as part of the first celebration of Constitution Day.

The Day is in recognition of the commencement of the 4th Republican constitutional dispensation on January 7, 1993.

It is also set aside to acknowledge the country’s collective efforts at ensuring that the tenets of democracy, rule of law and principles of constitutionalism are upheld.

A statement issued in Accra said the lecture will be delivered by the rector of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), Professor Philip Ebow Bondzi-Simpson, at the Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Professor Bondzie Simpson will deliver a paper on the topic “Constitutionalism in Ghana’s Fourth Republic: Towards Functional Performance”.

The Ministry has urged the general public to participate in the public lecture on Monday.

The lecture will be broadcast live on major media platforms and the Ministry of Information’s social media handles.
