Who Owns the Land and Who Rules the Land? by Rt. Rev. Prof. Osei Safo-Kantanka is a bold and thought-provoking critique of Ghana’s governance structure, land tenure system, and constitutional framework, examining why the country has failed to translate its political independence into economic progress.
Using comparative insights from nations like Singapore, the author argues that Ghana’s slow development stems from deeply rooted institutional bottlenecks and outdated constitutional arrangements. From the feudal land ownership system and ineffective decentralization, to adversarial politics and a mindset of dependency, the book calls for a national debate and total constitutional review to pave the way for transformation.

• Advocates for land reform and electoral restructuring
