J. Rawlings in 1993 and 1998; \u00a0Chinery-Hesse\u2019s Committee set up by President John Agyekum Kufuor in 2004 and 2008; \u00a0Yamson\u2019s Committee set up by President John Evans Atta Mills to review the 2008 report submitted by Chinery-Hesse Committee in 2009; \u00a0Ewurama Addy\u2019s Committee set up by President John Evans Atta Mills in 2010; \u00a0Edu-Buandoh\u2019s Committee set up by President John Dramani Mahama in 2016; and Ntiamoa-Baidu\u2019s Committee set up by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in 2020.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By A.R.
