ECOWAS must adopt a supranational government system – Asare-Afriyie

Ghana News
The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) must adopt a supranational government system if it intends to achieve its objectives. This is according to a Lecturer at the Law Faculty of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA). Speaking on Joy News’ The Law, Mr. George Baffour Asare-Afriyie, said ECOWAS member states must begin serious consideration of ceding some of their powers to the sub-regional body in order to reach the objectives as outlined in the ECOWAS treaty. He noted that while there has been a semblance of attempts to achieve supranationalism – for instance, in the issuance of the ECOWAS passport and ECOWAS card popularly called the Ghana card – there is much more work to be done.https://cdn.vuukle.com/widgets/quiz.html?version=1.1...
