1992 Constitution Has Served Ghana Well- Prez

Amid calls for the country to review its constitution, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has opined that it has served the country well.

According to him, no Constitution is perfect.

“I would say that this Constitution has served us well. It has provided the platform for the longest period of uninterrupted, stable, constitutional, democratic governance in our history. A constitution does not cure the irritations of the democratic process.

“There is no constitution that will satisfy the desires of those who do not believe in the democratic process.”

As such, he drew inspiration from the Latin adage “festina lente”, to wit “hasten slowly”, to guide the process.

“I would suggest that, in the approach to the calls for a constitutional review, we should be guided by the old saying, festina lente, the Latin adage for ‘hasten slowly’.”

Meanwhile, he shared plans to forward the document prepared and submitted to the President-elect for his consideration.

The document by the Constitution Review Consultative Committee, according to him, contains proposals for the review of the Constitution, along with the concerns and suggestions raised.
