Oliver Barker-Vormawor, Constitutional and Strategy Advisor for pressure group Democracy Hub, has urged political parties and key stakeholders to contribute meaningfully to discussions on the report of the Constitution Review Committee (CRC).
Speaking on JoyNews’ programme The Law on Sunday, March 8, he emphasised the importance of broad national engagement with the committee’s recommendations.
According to him, political parties should be open to reconsidering their existing positions on the CRC report and allow room for further dialogue and consensus-building.
“What I think is that the National Democratic Congress outside of government should ignore their own position paper on the CRC report,” he said.
He added that other political actors must also present their views to enrich the national conversation on constitutional reforms.
“The New Patriotic Party, I think, should do so, and other stakeholders should also issue their position papers,” he stated, noting that the reform process would benefit from diverse perspectives.
Mr Barker-Vormawor further stressed that the Constitution Review Committee, chaired by Henry Kwasi Prempeh, has provided a framework that should spark constructive debate rather than partisan disagreement.
He said sustained dialogue among political parties, civil society organisations and the public would be essential to ensuring that the proposed constitutional reforms reflect the collective aspirations of Ghanaians.
