The Executive Director of the Ghana Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana), Prof. H. Kwasi Prempeh, has urged government to publish draft bills on the proposed constitutional reforms for public review before they are finalised.
He said the implementation process must allow further input from political parties, civil society organisations and other stakeholders to build broad consensus around the reforms.
Speaking at a stakeholder dialogue on the Constitutional Reform Implementation Process, organised by the Citizens Platform on Constitutional Reform with support from the British High Commission, Prof. Prempeh cautioned against rushing the process without securing wider agreement.
“Even a proposal that many might consider worthwhile will fail to reach the finished line. A reform that collapses after so much public expenditure, time and effort is not a saving of time.
“Consensus built early is far cheaper than consensus that feels late,” he warned.
