Human rights activist Oliver Barker-Vormawor has called for the abolishment of the Council of State, arguing that its existence is unnecessary and that its removal would go unnoticed.
In an interview with JoyNews on Saturday January 25, he noted that "The abolishment of the Council of State is what we have called for.
We believe that if we move forward without it, nobody would even remember it exists." He also emphasised the need for justice and accountability, criticising the Constitution for promoting impunity by shielding Presidents from prosecution after their tenure. "The Constitution cannot preach justice while entrenching impunity.
We have also argued that Presidents should not be shielded from prosecution after their tenure," he added.
