Government’s response to Constitutional Review report is not a white paper – Ayine

The Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, has clarified that the government’s position on the Constitutional Review Committee’s final report does not amount to a white paper, explaining that the committee was not a commission of inquiry established under Chapter 23 of the 1992 Constitution."This is not a government white paper," he said, stressing that the government’s response represents its considered position on the recommendations submitted by the Constitutional Review Committee.

According to him, the committee’s work does not fall under the constitutional framework governing commissions of inquiry, and therefore the government was not required to issue a white paper on its recommendations.
