How To Apply For The Job

Applications must be accompanied by a word-processed essay presenting your views on the topic : “In spite of the provisions of article 199(1), which provides for a public officer to retire from public service on attaining the age of sixty years, the Constitution of Ghana also gives tenure to the heads of constitutional and governance bodies such as the Electoral Commission, commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice and the National Commission for Civic Education until age 70. What in your opinion are the implications of these provisions (tenure) to democratic governance in Ghana?”
