Former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Koku Anyidoho, has criticised Professor Henry Kwasi Prempeh, Chairman of the Constitutional Review Committee (CRC), over his recent media engagements following the formal presentation of the committee\u2019s report to President John Dramani Mahama.<\/p>\n According to Koku Anyidoho, the CRC Chairman has no business engaging in extensive public commentary after submitting the committee\u2019s work. <\/p>\n He warned that Professor Prempeh risks undermining his own work if he continues making public pronouncements on the report.<\/p>\n Responding to a recent interview granted by the Professor, Koku Anyidoho wrote on his X page, \u201cIf you don\u2019t keep quiet and continue talking \u2018bla-bla-bla\u2019, you will destroy your own work ooo HKP. You have finished your work; allow the Government\u2019s White Paper to speak for itself. Prof. Fiadzo did not speak the way you are speaking when he chaired the first CRC. The more you speak, the more you will sound like a very partisan politician. Merry Christmas.\u201d<\/p>\n He added in a subsequent post, \u201cHKP; you are not the first person to have chaired a CRC. Prof Albert Fiadzo did it before you under President Atta Mills. You have finished your work; why all this media blitz as if what you have done is cast in iron? Why don\u2019t you just keep quiet and wait for the Government White Paper? Chil.\u201d<\/p>\n The comments come amid ongoing public exchanges involving Professor Prempeh and former Attorney General and Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu.<\/p>\n It may be recalled that Professor Henry Kwasi Prempeh recently rebuked Martin Amidu, accusing him of having \u201clost his senses\u201d following a critical opinion piece written by the former Attorney General.<\/p>\n My father triggered the Bawku conflict for political gain – Sekou Nkrumah\u2019s painful reflection<\/p>\n In the opinion article dated May 5, 2025, Martin Amidu alleged that Professor Prempeh\u2019s appointment by President John Dramani Mahama to chair the CRC was part of a covert anti-NDC agenda that could potentially jeopardise the party\u2019s future.<\/p>\n Reacting to the article in a comment on a Facebook post by US-based Ghanaian lawyer and academic, Professor Kwaku Asare, Professor Prempeh dismissed Amidu\u2019s claims as \u201ca bunch of tosh,\u201d adding, \u201cAmidu has lost his marbles. I am now more convinced than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n In his article, Martin Amidu accused Professor Prempeh who also serves as Executive Director of the Ghana Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) of pushing ideological reforms under the guise of constitutional review, particularly targeting the Council of State.<\/p>\n He warned that Professor Prempeh\u2019s public utterances could result in reforms that may become \u201cJohn Dramani Mahama\u2019s Waterloo\u201d in the 2028 general elections.<\/p>\n Amidu further criticised Professor Prempeh for what he described as selective activism, noting his silence on the role of the Council of State during the Akufo-Addo administration while appearing vocal under the current NDC government.<\/p>\n Contrary to calls for reforming the Council of State, Amidu argued, \u201cThe problem is not with the Constitution or the Council of State. The problem is with We the People, particularly the educated and political elite.\u201d<\/p>\n However, Professor Kwaku Asare, in his Facebook post, criticised Amidu\u2019s attack on Professor Prempeh, stating, \u201cAmidu\u2019s attack on Prof H betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of how a Constitutional Review Committee operates just as his tenure as Special Prosecutor revealed confusion about his own mandate.\u201d<\/p>\n President John Dramani Mahama appointed Professor Henry Kwasi Prempeh to chair the eight-member Constitutional Review Committee on January 19, 2025. The committee was tasked with reviewing the 1992 Constitution and submitting recommendations for amendment within five months.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t keep quiet and continue talking \u201cbla-bla-bla\u201d, you will destroy your own work ooo HKP.<\/p>\n You have finished your work; allow the Government\u2019s White Paper to speak for itself.<\/p>\n Prof Fiadzo did not speak the way you are speaking when he Chaired the First CRC. <\/p>\n The more\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/eP1QA9us4F<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Samuel Koku Anyidoho\ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udded (@KokuAnyidoho) December 25, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n HKP; you are NOT the first person to have Chaired a CRC.
