Speaking on the significance of Constitution Day he said the Ghana Constitution stood the risk of being reduced to a complex Ananse Story which has given us an illusion that our lives would improve. Mr Greenstreet argued that the Constitution was meant to be a vehicle for institutionalizing democracy in real lives, "democracy must work for the people", he stressed. He agreed with the previous Constitution Review Commission (CRC) that the Constitution must be Developmental. This is what the CPP is about - the relentless pursuit of the people's welfare within our liberal settlement.
