Dr. Richard Amoako Baah, a renowned political scientist, has expressed his concerns about Ghana’s Constitution, labeling it “poorly written” amidst the ongoing parliamentary controversy. Apexnewsgh reportsÂ
He believes the Constitution’s ambiguity allows both sides to be right simultaneously, leading to confusion and disputes.
According to Dr. Baah, the Constitution’s restrictions on changing party affiliations are illogical.
He questions why citizens can change their minds about personal matters, like divorce, but not about their political affiliations.
Dr. Baah attributes this issue to corruption, suggesting that allowing party changes would lead to opportunistic switching in Parliament.
Dr. Baah emphasizes the Supreme Court’s broader authority, superseding the Speaker of Parliament’s decisions. He argues that the Constitution’s interpretation is flawed, particularly regarding party changes and parliamentary seat vacancies.
