Living the ‘constitutional moment’ with cautionWhen we speak of priorities one contentious subject relates to constitutional amendment. There are calls that advocate for exploiting the ‘constitutional moment’ we are currently living in as an opportunity. I submit that a new constitution, whether by way of amendment or replacement, is best born as an outcome of a comprehensive peace process. There is hardly any doubt on our being in a constitutional moment of sorts. The business of governing Ethiopia in its current form and with its existing enigmatic structures will be, to put it mildly, pouring water in a leaking jar.
