Akwatia Member of Parliament Bernard Bediako Baidoo has expressed optimism about Ghana's renewed constitutional reform process, stating confidence in the newly appointed 11-member implementation committee to successfully carry out its mandate. While acknowledging previous reform attempts faced legal challenges, Baidoo urges not to fear the current process.
He believes valuable lessons can be drawn from the court proceedings against the previous committee. Baidoo emphasizes that the reform process should not intimidate anyone, particularly those with legitimate concerns about implementation. He hopes this will not instill fear in anyone. If anyone has concerns about the process, they can take it to court.
This new phase in the Constitution Review process follows the government's appointment of the implementation committee. Baidoo sees legal challenges as part of democratic and constitutional safeguards, but insists success hinges on transparency, public confidence, comprehensive consultation, and strict adherence to constitutional procedures for amendments.
