Ranking member on the parliamentary select committee on foreign affairs, Isaac Osei has called on African leaders to submit themselves to peer review.

He made this statement in parliament to mark the celebration of the African Union Day.

Whilst praising the founders of the Union and also the ingenuity of African leaders who continue to help realise the pan-African dream he also urged them to allow themselves to be reviewed by each other.

He said "our continent has also established the African peer review mechanism and this mechanism should enable us have our own African leaders peer reviewing each other”.

This year's celebration is under the theme: “Human Rights with a Particular Focus on the Rights of Women.”

Meanwhile African Union (AU) Commission chair Nkosanzana Dlamini-Zuma has called for strong commitment to pan Africanism to enable the continent achieve economic integration.
