Launch of six Historiographies of NDC: โWe are not in this national crisis because we have a bad Constitution, but because those empowered to enforce and implement it are always looking for shortcuts to our problems. If we agree to let the President stay in office for 10 years, what will that change? If our practices remain the same, the President can stay in office for 25 years and nothing will change.โ โ Kwesi Pratt Jnr.
