CRC proposes removal of mandatory retirement age of 60 from Constitution
General News of Sunday, 28 December 2025Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Chair of the Constitutional Review Committee (CRC), Professor H Kwasi Prempeh, has stated that the committee is proposing the removal of the compulsory retirement age of 60 years from the 1992 Constitution. He explained that the CRC is proposing that the age cap be removed entirely from the Constitution to allow Parliament and institutions greater flexibility. Prof Prempeh noted that the current arrangement, where lecturers retire at 60 only to be re-engaged on contract, is ineffective. He also cautioned against linking retirement age directly to unemployment. Retirement age has some connections with mobility through the system, but let us not use it as an employment kind of valve,” he added.
