Akwasi Addai Odike, the founder of the United Progressive Party (UPP), has stated categorically that the Ghanaian youth has no future under the 1992 constitution.
According to him, the late former president, Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings, after succeeding in a coup d’état, formed a constituent assembly to draft and enact the 1992 constitution to help the practice of democratic governance in Ghana.
Speaking in an interview on Onua TV he made this assertion.
“The 1992 constitution has no hope or future for the youth; there are portions if not changed or reviewed the youth would remain poorer and miserable irrespective of who becomes the next president.”
He added that the late former head of state constrained the constituent assembly members to empower the presidency with extensive prerogative powers so that he could rule Ghana completely.
