政府已接受宪法审查委员会（CRC）的建议，将总统任期从四年延长至五年，议会任期也随之作相应调整。\n\n司法部长兼总检察长Dr Dominic Akurutinga Ayine表示，此举旨在为历届政府提供更多时间来规划、实施和评估政策。\n\n他解释说：在目前的四年周期中，每届政府的初期都耗费在权力交接上，最后一年则用于选举。五年任期为政策的制定、实施和评估提供了更切实际的时间框架。\n\nDr Ayine昨日在阿克拉的总统府呈交政府关于CRC建议的立场文件时公布了这一消息。\n\n他表示，在通过全民公投批准的前提下，政府还支持为首席大法官设定一个固定且不可连任的10年单一任期，直至70岁的法定退休年龄。\n\n他补充说，政府已提议将最高法院大法官的人数上限设定为19人，包括首席大法官和另外18名大法官。\n\n他说：委员会建议将人数上限设为15人，政府则提议设为19人，即首席大法官加上18名最高法院大法官。这既能提高效率、控制公共开支，又足以稳健地履行法院的宪法职责。

The government has accepted the recommendation of the Constitutional Review Committee (CRC) to extend the term of office of the President from four to five years, with the tenure of Parliament adjusted accordingly.

The Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Dr Dominic Akurutinga Ayine, said the move was aimed at providing administrations with more time to plan, implement and assess policies.

"Under the current four-year cycle, the early months of every administration are consumed by transition, and the final year is lost to elections. A five-year term provides a more realistic timeframe for policy formulation, implementation and assessment," he explained.

Dr Ayine made this known at the Presidency in Accra yesterday when he presented the government's position paper on the recommendations of the CRC.

He said, subject to approval through a referendum, the government also supported a fixed single, non-renewable 10-year term for the Chief Justice, up to the mandatory retirement age of 70 years.

He added that the government had proposed capping the number of Supreme Court justices at 19, comprising the Chief Justice and 18 other justices.

"The Committee recommended a cap of 15 justices; government proposes 19 justices; Chief Justice plus 18 Justices of the Supreme Court. This promotes efficiency, manages public expenditure, while remaining sufficiently robust to discharge the Court's constitutional mandate," he said.
