CDD-Ghana welcomes Constitutional Review Commission

The Ghana Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) on Thursday welcomed the inauguration of the Constitutional Review Committee, commending government for taking such an important step. �The inauguration of the Commission fulfils the Mills-NDC administration�s pledge to initiate a process of constitutional review within the first year of its tenure of office in response to calls by some sections of the public for a re-examination of some provisions of the constitution,� said a statement issued by CDD-Ghana in Accra. CDD-Ghana congratulated members of the Commission on their appointment, and openness to a wide range of views and opinions from all Ghanaians including Ghanaians in the Diaspora. �We hope that the constitutional review exercise results in the reinforcement of the principles of democracy, good governance and social justice that lie at the core of the 1992 Constitution,� it said. The statement said the Centre looked forward to working with the Commission.
