 RESOLUTION

Kindly sign and get as many signatories as possible and forward to the Commission either via the High Commission or directly to Accra

WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, citizens of Ghana by birth now domiciled in­­  London and other parts of the United Kingdom hereby resolve and state as follows:

CONSIDERING, the mandate of the Constitutional Review Committee (CRC) to review and prepare recommendations for those areas of 1992 Constitution that needs to be amended

HAVING SEEN,  the discriminatory impact of Chapter 3 and Article 94 (2) of the 1992 constitution on the rights of Ghanaian by birth citizens who are domiciled  in foreign lands and have taken on citizenship of other nationalities; being prohibited from  joining the public service of their country and run for high elective offices such as the Presidency  or Member of  Parliament; and further, having seen the prevailing double standard where some of the Diasporans have been compelled  to renounce their citizenship or in lieu been hauled to court if there is any doubt about their renunciation ; while others get a free pass due to their political connection  all resulting in the creation of an unequal playing field in the body politic. And;

RECOGNIZING, that other countries in Africa much as Nigeria, Cape Verde, Kenya  and Nigeria no longer require  its  citizens  by birth to  renounce their citizenship of other countries and be given same rights guaranteed to all her citizens ; and recognizing the large in flow of funds which  we Ghanaian have infused into the economy .Latest  Bank of Ghana report  shows an annual remittance of $3 billion US dollars; further recognizing that  Ghana needs all its citizens  to contribute their  talents, skills and resources for the economic growth and  development of Ghana and  finally, recognizing  the  United Nations   and African Union recommendations which , among others, enjoin all governments to allow all citizens the right to participate in the government and the public service and the enjoyment to tap on much ignored resource and human development of all its citizens are encouraged in view of the challenges and demands of globalization.  And;

 

NOW ,IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the signatories herein below  support the proposals of Dr.Agyenim Boateng and others to amend Chapter 3 of the constitution and Article 94 (2) in order  to bring it in line with  modern democratic governance as prevail in other  African countries and elsewhere and, therefore,  seriously urge the CRC to adopt the proposals as submitted:
