Chairman of AB & David Africa, David Ofosu-Dorte believes the 1992 constitution was made to oppress Ghanaians.
The 1992 constitution is the prime guideline for Ghana. Ghana’s parliament implement rules and regulations based on the recommendation in it.
Giving a lecture on the rules of the land, “A fundamental Law for our Prosperity or a well-crafted guide for our economic doom”, Mr Ofosu-Dorte said it appears laws instead of benefiting Ghanaians, oppress them.

According to him, taxes do not benefit the nation properly. Taxes further worsen the plight of the ordinary Ghanaian. Elsewhere, citizens are benefitting from their taxes. Ghanaians over the years have called on successive governments to amend the constitution.
The winner takes all in our political system is ruining our country. When a political party wins power in Ghana, it controls everything in the country. Measures should be put in place to eradicate that. Ghana has been destroyed by the very foundation that was laid to give it rest and peace.
The constitution users have made it a sin to become a Ghanaian citizen. As much as citizens’ rights are given in the constitution, it is difficult to identify any gains Ghanaians have made from being citizens. It appears as though citizens vote people into power to oppress and punish them. He added.
National Health Insurance was 2012, the education trust fund and the Covid-19 levy, which was meant to raise revenue to support Covid-19 and its expenditures. I am not sure what the expenditures and related matters are. There is also the Electronic transfer levy, the Africa Union Import levy, 0.2%, the ECOWAS levy, which is 0.5%, and the Energy Fund levy, and the issue here is that the energy sector owes more than it owed before this levy was introduced. Even with the sanitation levy, we can not exactly say sanitation issues have been resolved.
