Council of State’s advice must be binding on President
The newly-elected Council of State member for the
Ashanti Region, Nana Owusu Achaw Brempong, has
called for the advice and counsel of the Council
to be binding on the president.


Speaking on Akoma FM‘s weekend political show
Wonsom, the retained Ashanti Region representative
on the Council insists the relevance of their role
for the state will be realised only when the
President adhere strictly to advice from them.



He, however, explained that during his first four
years as a member of the advisory Council,
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been
cooperative, adding that “our advice must be
obligatory to the president so to ensure
consistency”.

“I pray there should be some amendments in our
laws so every leader will be forced to factor
advice of the Council in any administrative
duties, otherwise the body will become a rubber
stamp,” he added.

Touching on his priorities as the regional
representative on the Council, Nana Owusu Achaw
Brempong mentioned Boankra interchange, Suame
interchange and Anloga junction interchange as his
topmost desires to be championed in his second
term.
