President John Dramani Mahama has signed into law the Legal Education Bill and the Value for Money Office Act, marking a significant step toward strengthening governance, accountability, and institutional reforms in Ghana.
The Legal Education Act is expected to reshape the country’s legal training framework by allowing the accreditation of more law schools to provide professional legal education. The move is aimed at expanding access to legal training and addressing long-standing capacity constraints within the sector.
Meanwhile, the newly enacted Value for Money Office Act introduces enhanced oversight measures for public sector spending. The legislation is designed to promote transparency and ensure greater accountability in the management and use of public funds.
The two laws form part of broader efforts by the government to improve institutional efficiency and reinforce public trust in governance systems.
