I have been asked by the Attorney-General to accept a national assignment to serve to as Secretary and Member of the Constitution Review Implementation Committee.
The role requires that I serve the Committee and provide technical support to the Committee towards implementing proposals for the amendment of the 1992 Constitution.
17 years ago, I was brought into the Constitution Review Commission as the youngest member of its research leads at 22 years. Since then I have remained convinced of the centrality of constitutional reform to fulfilling Ghana’s mission.
That dream has lived on in my daily advocacy. Today, myself and Democracy Hub subscribe fully to be creed that the Republic must inch towards a New Constitution for a New Generation. I believe 100% in that project.
That dream remains deferred as the political consensus necessary to achieve it remains absent. But that still remains my lifelong mission. This process is only half the journey. But progressive and incremental change doesn’t by itself defeat the revolution necessary. My advocacy continues beyond my current work; and what the political class is willing to concede at this stage.
My colleagues at Democracy Hub consider this as just the beginning to their long standing campaign and not the end. I subscribe to that creed; and our advocacy continues.
I remain grateful that the Government has remained committed to ensuring this process is led by technocrats. From the Professor Fiadjoe/Raymond Atuguba Committee; Professor Prempeh/Rainer AKumperigya Commitee to the Marietta Brew/Barker-Vormawor Committee; persons of repute have committed themselves to this journey for a while now. All in the hope that this process works.
May this attempt succeed. For God, Country and Posterity.

Chief Justice Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie has called for accelerated adoption of technology in the Judiciary to improve justice delivery.
Speaking at JUSAG’s Quadrennial Delegates’ Conference, he said a comprehensive e-Justice system should make filing, record management, payments and court hearings more efficient and accessible.

@GabbyDarko 🇬🇭Our INSTITUTIONS and LEADERS at all levels must inspire a TRUE MINDSET RESET against CORRUPTION. We must not only inspire hope but also heal our nation of the 153year old colonial disease of "DIVIDE AND RULE". This is our deadliest political failure.

KNUST has issued an update on the development of the University Statutes under the KNUST Act, 2025 (Act 1157).
The draft Statutes remain under review and are not final until all prescribed governance and approval processes are completed.
@AfenyoMarkin So, who will be held accountable for the profit and loss in the nkukonkitinkitin investment? MINISTRY OF FINANCE or MoFA?
Or Parliament who approved it?
Thank you our Vice President.
Good mothers/Leaders do not fear to chastise and straighten children who deserve to be chastened.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
