These are constitutional matters and shouldn't be turned into a partisan power play. Do the right thing Mr Doe Adjaho to bring consensus in parliament about these proposed constitutional amendments.

Adjaho, Ghana and Ghanaian Parliament is not your property. Do the right thing! As for this foolish Muntaka, he will defend everything wrong provided it is from the Speaker just to please the Speaker.

If you read the portion of the constitution quoted, it's clear that Hon. Adjaho did the right thing by first referring it to the Council of State for advice. After such an advice is received within 30 days, the document then goes before Parliament.

The constitution is clear on this issue and I don't understand why the Minority should have a problem and start blaming Hon. Adjaho.

Nothing appears to be done on behalf and in the interest of the people of Ghana. Politics in parliament is foremost about party interests and nothing else.

No one stands up and defends the nation, rule of law, what is right in terms of procedures. If it is not inte the interest of party then sod it , even if it is better for Ghana.

The speaker of the house appears to be partial to the NDC when managing the house, instead of being partial in favour of the law, procedures and the interests of Ghana. He should not be perceived by anyone as as a stomach politician but his attitude appears to betray this.

GHANA HAS BEEN RAPED BY NDC IDIOTS. WE DO NOT NEED ANY NATIONAL ECONOMIC FORUM, WE NEED A NATIONAL COURT OF JURISDICTION TO PUT MAHAMA AND HIS CABINET ON TRIAL. GHANA'S HOPELESS ECONOMIC SITUATION, TODAY, IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. NDC HAS OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS PRESIDED OVER THE BIGGEST RESOURCES IN OUR HISTORY INCLUDING CRUDE OIL & STEALTH TAXES. THEY HAVE ALSO CONTRACTED THE BIGGEST LOANS IN OUR HISTORY. IF THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS AND THE ECONOMY IS IN SHAMBLES, THEN,THEY MUST BE PROSECUTED. THEY MUST GIVE THE MONEYS BACK TO THE TREASURY. WE DO NOT NEED ANY ECONOMIC FORUM. SET UP A COURT IMMEDIATELY. IT HAPPENED IN THAILAND RECENTLY

All of you should go and read Article 290(2) and (3) of the constitution before commenting on this matter. THE SPEAKER HAS DONE THE RIGHT THING. Some of you NPP folks have not even seen the constitution before but still want to comment on Legal issues.NPP IS JUST TOO PARTISAN. THEY ALWAYS WANT TO CALL THE SHORT EVEN WHILES IN OPPOSITION. NPP is WRONG on this issue. It is just a case of the Pot calling the Kettle black. The CONSTITUTION IS IN SIMPLE ENGLISH. Just read the portion quoted and you will know who is right or wrong.
NPP GIVE GHANA A BREAK. YOU CANNOT DO ANY BETTER. WE HAVE SEEN YOU IN GOVT BEFORE.

This is what the constitutional provision at Art 290(2) &(3):
(2) A bill for the amendment of an entrenched provision shall, before Parliament proceeds to consider it, be referred by the Speaker to the Council of State for its advice and the Council of State shall render advice on the bill within thirty days after receiving it.
(3) The bill shall be published in the Gazette but shall not be introduced into Parliament until the expiry of six months after the publication in the Gazette under this clause.
From my layman's point of view, the Speaker is doing the right thing. It is no yet time for parliament as a group to consider the CRC document.
