James Gyakye Quayson, the Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister-designate, has highlighted the strong backing he received from some NPP MPs during his citizenship trial.
He is now urging Parliament to expedite the passage of the Dual Citizenship Amendment Bill, emphasizing the need for legal reforms to address citizenship issues. Quayson also called for a broader mindset change among Ghanaians, suggesting that true national progress requires both legislative action and a shift in public attitudes.
His comments reflect ongoing debates about citizenship laws and national identity in Ghana.

Honestly, Quayson is spot on—Ghana’s citizenship laws are outdated and end up punishing people who want to contribute to the country, just because they hold dual citizenship. Social democracy is all about inclusion and fairness, so making it easier for Ghanaians abroad to participate fully in national life is a no-brainer. Parliament should pass this reform ASAP, and it’s great to see some cross-party support for actual progress.
