Constitutional Law
Forgive Us our Trespasses : An examination of the Indemnity Clause in the 1992 Constitution of Ghana
There is no denying the fact that in many ways than one,
Ghana will never be the same after the PNDC years, whether
measured from the point of view of the level of violence or the
scale of intimidation to which the citizenry at large were
subjected or the extent to which the regime sought to destabilize
established authority and settled procedures and institutions.
Here at Legon, the occupation, with Commonwealth Hall as its
operational headquarters, remains a vivid memory. The restoration of constitutional democracy in January 1993
was supposed to change all that. Some relief has come. But it
has not been total. The reason is to be found, in my opinion,
in part, in Sections 34,35 and 37 contained in the Transitional
Provisions of the 1992 Constitution and Article 299 contained in
the main body thereof.
