This momentum achievement marks a turning point not for yourself alone but for all Civil Society organizations and the Ghanaian community on a transformational shift towards an ideal constitutional framework.
As one of the finest legal luminaries in Ghana, your appointment is well earned by your hard work and consistency in strengthening democracy and good governance in Ghana. Your remarkable leadership, commitment to service, excellence, and outright competence have by no means gone unrecognized.

We at the YAFO Institute welcome this appointment. We do not doubt that this new endeavour is in line with an ideal mechanism that will birth an exemplary and historic constitutional reform.
As you lead the Constitutional Review Committee, we are convinced that you would examine the views of the Ghanaian people on the operation of the 1992 constitution, as well as your team of experts and the current status of democracy in Ghana, in order to address the flaws of our current constitution. Your extensive knowledge and experience with the law provide a legendary blueprint on which the people of Ghana can confidently trust to make remarkable amendments to areas of deficiency in our current constitution.
To cultivate a more robust democracy and the Ghana that we all aspire to, our esteemed institution, as part of civil society organizations in Ghana, is prepared to provide our assistance to you and the entire constitutional review committee as you assume this role.
Once again, we congratulate you on a feat well deserved, an achievement well earned. We look forward to your stellar execution and excellent performance on this pivotal charge.
