General News of Saturday, 6 October 2018Source: Myjoyonline.comTime to expunge constitutional protection for coup makers - NPP ChairmanNPP Chairman, Freddie BlayChairman of the governing New Patriotic Party, Freddie Blay has called for the law protecting coup makers to be expunged from the 1992 constitution. It should be removed to serve as a warning for any future coup makers that the constitution shall be no shield for subversion. That era ended with the 1992 constitution coming into force to herald a return to democratic rule in Ghana that continues to endure after 25 years. But these calls will not find favour with Ghana's Constitution Review Commission (CRC) set up in 2010 to gather Ghanaian views on areas under the 1992 constitution which should be reviewed. Chairman of the Commission, Professor Albert Fiadjoe, said the clauses in the Transitional provisions have been helpful in promoting reconciliation.
