The Executive Director of the Ghana Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana), has commended President John Mahama for appointing him as the Chair of the Constitutional Review Committee Chairman.
Prof Henry Kwasi Prempeh pledged his commitment to advancing Ghana's constitutional reform agenda.
It is not the norm in Ghana to find non-party members or supporters being appointed by presidents to serve in their governments, with critics often lamenting the negative impact of this winner-takes-all system on nation-building.
In a Facebook post following the announcement, Prof Prempeh saluted President Mahama for what he described as a "bold and statesmanlike step" in appointing him, a non-NDC member and vocal critic of the President's previous administration, to chair the committee.
