Kwaku Ansa-Asare, a former Director of Legal Education in Ghana, has publicly criticised the current composition of the Council of State. He alleges the body has become excessively partisan, undermining its intended role as an independent advisory body. Ansa-Asare, who also served as Director of the Ghana School of Law, claims the present structure inhibits members from offering unbiased counsel. His criticism centers on a perceived lack of objectivity within the Council. He suggests the current makeup prevents the free exchange of independent opinions, crucial for effective governance. This critique raises questions about the Council’s ability to fulfill its constitutional mandate impartially. The Council of State is intended to advise the President on national issues.
