Ghana’s Attorney-General, Dominic Ayine, has stated the government’s response to the Constitutional Review Committee’s report is not officially a “white paper.” Ayine explained this is because the committee did not function as a commission of inquiry as defined by Chapter 23 of the 1992 Constitution. A white paper typically follows the recommendations of a commission of inquiry. The clarification addresses potential confusion regarding the government’s formal position on the review process. Ayine’s statement highlights a distinction in the legal framework governing how the government responds to different types of review bodies. This aims to ensure accurate interpretation of the government’s actions related to constitutional reform. The review committee’s final report is still under consideration, but won’t be treated as such due to its organizational structure.
