Parliament is preparing to introduce a new set of bills aimed at strengthening Ghana’s financial sector, promoting investment, and reforming key aspects of the country’s legal and governance systems.

The Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, disclosed this during his address to Parliament on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, at the first sitting after the House reconvened from recess.

He outlined the legislative agenda, describing the proposed reforms as critical to economic consolidation and institutional accountability.

He therefore called for broad, bipartisan support to sustain Ghana’s ongoing economic recovery.
