#TheDailyConstitution: ...The last set of recommendations is on a number of miscellaneous issues and includes proposals for how future reviews of the Constitution may be conducted; an agenda for reducing ethnic tendencies in the nation, corruption and wastage in the public and private spheres - including mechanisms for plugging revenue leakages and the enforcement of recommendations made by the Auditor-General, and the over politicisation of national issues. The Commission has also made recommendations for the retention of the indemnity provisions; the creation of a National Commission on Culture by the Constitution in order to ensure that Ghanas development is based on a sound understanding of our culture; and for the Preamble to the Constitution to be reviewed to reflect the cultural legacy and values of Ghanaian society. In the conclusion to this report, the Commission recommends measures that the government may wish to take to translate the recommendations into constitutional, legislative and administrative actions that will improve national governance and the peoples lives. Mainly, it is recommended that a Technical Committee be set up to assist the government implement the recommendations of the Commission. This Committee will offer expert advice (assisting Cabinet, Parliament, and the Council of State in their deliberations on the proposed changes) and in the development of detailed plans and strategies for the various other processes, including the referendum procedure. The Committee will also work closely with the NCCE, EC, MDAs, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs), Traditional Authority, the Media, civil society and other stakeholders to educate the nation on the reforms prior to the referendum.
