The case of the Ghanaian Parliament

While Ghana’s democracy is often cited as one of the most functional in Africa, moving forward, organizational resources will continue to be a constraint to democratic consolidation. This paper will focus specifically on the Ghanaian Legislature and present the existing organizational resource deficits and how this lack of resources, both human and infrastructural, has hindered the efficient and effective performance of Ghana’s Parliament. In conclusion, this paper will assess the existing level of political will to address these shortcomings to enable the improved performance of the Parliament of Ghana.
