Kwesi Pratt blames political leadership for Ghana’s constitutional crisis 

Kwesi Pratt Jnr Mr Kwesi Pratt Jnr, renowned Ghanaian journalist and political analyst, has blamed Ghana’s persistent constitutional crisis on poor political leadership and the failure of relevant state institutions to implement the Constitution in ways that benefit citizens and promote national development.

While admitting that the1992 Constitution had some genuine defects requiring amendment, he insisted that no constitutional review would be enough to transform the country if politicians and state actors failed to change their ways.

According to Mr Pratt, amending the Constitution alone would not resolve the constitutional crisis, as the deeper problem was the political class’ allegiance to special interests and the way state institutions operated under the Constitution.
