nullify the constitution review process<\/a><\/strong><\/span> currently being undertaken by the Constitution Review Implementation Committee (CRIC).<\/p>\nThe committee, chaired by Prof. Emmanuel Victor Dankwah, was set up by government to make proposals for the review of the constitution which will then be subjected to a vote at a referendum.<\/p>\n
Professor Asare argues that the CRIC have no power to schedule a referendum or to amend the Constitution.<\/p>\n
He also stated that he had taken the case up with the Supreme Court and had requested the court to \u201cissue an order\u201d directing all relevant bodies \u201cto permanently cease and desist from taking any actions that seek to amend or otherwise disturb the Constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n
Professor Asare added that he is prepared to \u201clitigate this matter to its logical conclusion\u201d to ensure that the constitution was not amended on the recommendation of the committee.<\/p>\n
But the Attorney General, Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong\u00a0in her response disagreed.<\/p>\n
According to the her, the President did not err in appointing the committee and that in the performance of their duties the CRIC has not breached any law.<\/p>\n
