The Chairperson of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), Kathleen Addy, has called for a multi-stakeholder and a multi–partisan engagement on the review of Ghana’s constitution.
According to her, the voices and aspirations of ordinary Ghanaians must be reflected in any reform, adding that the review would yield no better results if the right measures are not taken.
“Our interest is in ensuring that the voices and hopes and aspirations of ordinary Ghanaians ae reflected in any reform. I’ve also said that if there’s going to be a constitutional reform process of any sort, it must be multi – stakeholder and multi – partisan in the approach in terms of the voices;
"Because we all know that if we don’t get those dynamics right, if we don’t get at least the two leading parties plus all the other political parties involved, we will go and move and continue to build up but nothing will happen,” she said.
Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile Joy Change Speakers Series IV, Madam Addy added that in the case where the constitution must be reviewed, the Commission does not want the process to be hijacked by the political elites to suit their agenda but a process that would reflect the voices of the people.
She added that just being able to paint a rosy picture of where the country wants to be in the future and engaging in mere talks without actions are not enough.
According to her, there needs to be a roadmap set for the achievement of goals in regards to the constitutional review.
