quick update

Apologies for not blogging these past few weeks--I've been very busy with my new research project in Accra. I've been back in Ghana for about two weeks, but I'll definitely post about Cote d'Ivoire later this week, and then hopefully get back to more regular Ghana posting.

I don't currently have much time to write about recent Ghana news events, but the creation of a Constitutional Review Commission a couple weeks ago has generated a stir around Accra. Basically, the Commission will be re-evaluating the 1992 Constitution, a process that they promise will include the viewpoints of ordinary Ghanaians. Even the cab drivers have been giving me their two cents on Parliamentary oversight of the executive. More on this later.
