Kofi Koranteng, an independent candidate for president in the 2024 general election, has promised to change the nation's governance structure to solve concerns with poor leadership and corruption.
According to Mr. Koranteng, who is now making headway in Ghana's political arena, corruption has stifled the nation's progress.
He emphasized the need for the country to elect capable leaders in order to advance its prospects, which he pledged to realize if elected president.
In an interview with the Daily Graphic in Accra, he made the commitment to share his goals and plans for the nation, including running for president.
"If the system is set up so that the President must nominate the Minister of Justice and Attorney General, then you have to consider whether this is fair or not." Constitutional Analysis
The present Constitution, according to Mr. Koranteng, has to be entirely revised since several of its provisions have grown to be difficult and no longer seem to be practical or relevant.
For instance, he said, "Our Constitution has granted the executive so much power that the President has the sole prerogative to appoint the Chief Justice, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), as well as heads of other state institutions, and this is problematic."
So that the required modifications might be made, the presidential aspirant said that he would take a second look at the work of the Constitution Review Committee as well as the government's White Paper.

In his statement, he stated the hope that he would establish "a leadership style that is unique to Ghanaians and conforms to our most persistent challenges and respects our culture and values."
Mr. Koranteng, who is jokingly referred to as a "game changer," promised to employ technology to combat corruption and modernize agriculture.
In order to not burden the average tax payer, he advocated that his government operate a lean administration.
Additionally, it would improve public institutions efficiency and reduce waste to advance the nation's development objective.
