MFWA boss urges Mahama to turn constitutional reform promises into action
The Executive Director of the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA), Sulemana Braimah, has expressed cautious optimism about the government’s renewed efforts to advance Ghana’s constitutional reform agenda, saying the latest initiative presents an opportunity to address longstanding governance challenges.
Sulemana Braimah, Executive Director of the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA), expressed cautious optimism about Ghana's renewed constitutional reform efforts. Speaking on JoyNews' Newsfile, Mr Braimah welcomed the formation of an 11-member committee to take forward recommendations from the Constitution Review Committee. This comes as the constitutional review process shifts from producing recommendations to implementing proposed reforms.
Mr Braimah emphasized the importance of the initiative, given President John Dramani Mahama's commitment to a comprehensive constitutional reform process. He stated that the process should address constitutional provisions contributing to governance challenges and determine how to address these issues. Despite his enthusiasm, Mr Braimah cautioned that the implementation phase often proves more difficult than the initial stages, as previous efforts have sometimes failed to translate recommendations into comprehensive reforms. He expressed hope that the current process would succeed where others have not.
