The Member of Parliament for Sagnarigu Hon Alhassan Bashiru Fuseini said the 1992 Ghanaian Republic Constitution which has been described as the constitution of “butchers and ordinary people” has lasted and stand the test of time than the ones written by “so called intellectuals”.
Sagnarigu MP ABA Fuseini said this in an interview at the stakeholders’ consultations organize by the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs (MoPA) on the validation of the CRC report of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana.
According to him the 1992 Constitution of Ghana is long overdue for review and amendment, and this will not be the first time that such an exercise has been embarked on, stating that as far back as 2010 under the Presidency of late Professor Atta Mills, there was a Constitutional Review Commission that tried to look at some aspects of the amendment of our constitution. The constitution is a living document, and after thirty years, this is the constitution that has had the long span of life in our country’s history, he stated.
“Even if you are handsome you still need to bath, no document is sacrosanct as time passes we need to look at some others, review and let it be a living documents of the times we live. This is a very good exercise, it should be done to complement with previous constitutions together so that we have a living document, so I support this exercise; its very good to help us get that renewal process to make our constitution more relevant to our people today”
