Don’t draft laws for today’s winners, they could be tomorrow’s losers – Prof Kwasi Prempeh

Professor Prempeh argued that many political actors mistakenly assume their current position in government or opposition is permanent, which influences how they respond to proposed constitutional changes.

Professor Prempeh explained that policymakers should imagine they do not know whether they will be in government, opposition or outside politics altogether before deciding what constitutional arrangements are appropriate.

Drawing on political philosophy, Professor Prempeh urged political leaders to adopt a more impartial approach when considering constitutional reforms.
