Ghana’s President, John Dramani Mahama, has signed into law the Legal Education Bill and the Value for Money Office Act, in a major step toward strengthening governance, accountability, and institutional reforms in Ghana.
The Legal Education Bill is expected to transform Ghana’s legal education system by paving the way for the accreditation of more law schools to offer professional legal training, expanding access to legal education and addressing long-standing capacity challenges within the sector.
The newly enacted Value for Money Office Act also introduces stricter oversight mechanisms for public sector spending, with a focus promoting transparency, and ensuring greater accountability in the use of public funds.
