I deeply appreciate the contributions of all the wonderful and hard-working lecturers of the Department of Geography and Resource Development, University of Ghana, especially Dr Emmanuel Atua for their great efforts in making the Discipline of Geography relevant to the development discourse in Africa and the world.

The questions have always been: diversify to where and with what new products? This study proposed an answer: diversify to hallmark events and to cultural tourism products. There is the need to package some of our popular, established, indigenous, traditional festivals as tourism hallmark events, to diversify Ghana‟s tourist product offering, and by large improve her domestic and international tourist earnings. Traditional festivals abound in all the ten regions of the country. If these festivals are structured and packaged well, it can be used to promote tourism. One such festival is the “Easter Festival” by the Kwahus. This festival has now taken a national and international dimension due to the touristic activities such as paragliding which was recently introduced into the festival. Before festivals and special events can be used to diversify tourism industry in the country, there is the need to determine the perceptions and the attitude of the residents in the host region. In this study it was observed that socio- economic variables (age, gender, and education), personal benefits derivation and level of involvement in the festival shaped residents‟ perception in negative and positive manner. One implication of these findings is that the factors that shaped negative perceptions and attitudes could be addressed through education. It was also discovered that, there are many socio-economic benefits associated with the festival such as employment, income generation and so on. Moreover, evidence gathered reveals that, the area has many potential tourist products associated with KEF which could be developed to promote tourism in the country. Again, it was revealed that motives of festival tourists vary in relation to country of origin. Most of the foreign tourists attended the festival as experts in paragliding who wanted to iv University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh witness and participate in paragliding. It was also discovered that paragliding was the main touristic activity that drew much people both locally and internationally to the festival. The relevance of the findings is that there is abundant wealth of tourist products in Ghana which have not been fully developed or branded to promote social and economic growth; this can be achieved through integrating tourist issues into policy formulation and promotions of private participation in tourism development. v University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh TABLE OF CONTENTS Content Page DECLARATION ................................................................................................................... i DEDICATION ...................................................................................................................... ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT .................................................................................................. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ..................................................................................................... vi LIST OF TABLES ............................................................................................................... xi LIST OF FIGURES ............................................................................................................ xii LIST OF PLATES ............................................................................................................ xiii LIST OF MAPS ................................................................................................................. xiv GLOSSARY ........................................................................................................................ xv CHAPTER ONE ................................................................................................................... 1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION ............................................................................................. 1 1.1 Introduction ..................................................................................................................... 1 1.2 Explanation of Concepts and Definition of Terms ......................................................... 6 1.3 Statement of the Problem ................................................................................................ 8 1.4 Objectives of the Study ................................................................................................. 10 1.5 Research Questions ....................................................................................................... 11 1.6 Hypotheses .................................................................................................................... 11 1.7 Proposition .................................................................................................................... 11 1.8 Theoretical Issues .......................................................................................................... 12 1.9 Conceptual Framework ................................................................................................. 15 1.10 Methodology Used ...................................................................................................... 19 1.10.1 The Study Area ..................................................................................................... 19 1.10.2 Sources of Data and Method of Data Collection .................................................. 20 1.10.3 Survey Instruments ............................................................................................... 22 vi University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh 1.10.4 Data Analysis ....................................................................................................... 23 1.11 Significance of the Study ............................................................................................ 23 1.12.

  • The Role of the Supreme Court in the Development of Constitutional Law in Ghana
    THE ROLE OF THE SUPREME COURT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONSTITUTIONAL LAW IN GHANA by SETH YEBOA BIMPONG-BUTA i THE ROLE OF THE SUPREME COURT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONSTITUTIONAL LAW IN GHANA by SETH YEBOA BIMPONG-BUTA Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF LAW – LLD at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA PROMOTER PROFESSOR B P WANDA 1 February 2005 ii ABSTRACT The Theme running through this Dissertation is intended to prove that the Supreme Court has a role to play in the promotion, enforcement and sustenance of a proper democratic system of government, good governance and fundamental human rights and freedoms in Ghana. The Study would therefore address the role of the Supreme Court in the development of Constitutional Law in Ghana, with particular emphasis on the court’s contribution to the underlying concepts of the Fourth Republican Constitution of 1992; the guiding principles of constitutional interpretation and the vexed issue of whether the court should adopt a mechanical and literal approach to the interpretation of the Constitution or adopt a liberal, beneficent and purposive approach. The Supreme Court has asserted in the locus classicus decision: Tuffuor v Attorney-General [1980] GLR 637 that the 1979 Constitution as the supreme law, must be construed as a living political document capable of growth. Is there any evidence now to support that claim? The study shall also investigate the question of the power of the Supreme Court to review legislative and executive action. We shall also examine the role of the Supreme Court in the interpretation and enforcement of the Constitution and Fundamental Human Rights and Freedoms in relation to the rights and obligations of the individual and the State with the view to achieving good governance.

The study is premised on the fact that, traditional musicians in the Akan culture, like most people on the surface of the earth, also have the natural capacity to consciously or unconsciously effect changes in their environments, play significant roles in most human-initiated change processes, and make contributions to both the material and institutional aspects of their culture, as their creative sensibilities or tendencies continue to bring about various forms of innovations from time to time.
