| Abstract: | Article 4 of the Constitution, 1979, states the laws of Ghana as comprising the Constitution; enactments, rules, orders and regulations made as authorized by the Constitution; the existing law; and the common law, defined to include customary law. The author examines each of these sources of law in turn. Following the establishment as from 31 December 1981 of the Government of the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) and subsequently, the abrogation of the 1979 Constitution, the PNDC is now the supreme law-making body in Ghana. However, for its laws, like any other laws, to be efficacious, they must reflect the aspirations of the people, they must be uniform and impartial, they must be publicized, and they must be interpreted and applied in accordance with their true intent.
