The Ghana Police Service’s decision to seek an injunction from the courts to halt the planned protest on Tuesday, September 5th, has been strongly condemned by the Minority in Parliament. Apexnewsghcom report
Deputy Minority Leader Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah expressed disappointment with the police’s approach, stating that they should have engaged in further dialogue to address the areas of disagreement instead of resorting to legal action.
The protest is aimed at holding the Governor of the Bank of Ghana and his deputies accountable for the mismanagement of the bank, which has resulted in a significant loss of GH¢60.8 billion and pushed many Ghanaians into poverty.
The Minority was served with a High Court injunction, and Mr. Armah-Kofi Buah emphasized that nothing will deter them from carrying out the protest, expressing confidence that the court will grant permission for the march.
The leader of the caucus, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, rejected the proposed route suggested by the police in a written response.
“I write to reject your proposed route for the OccupyBoG demonstration planned for 5th September 2023,” he wrote.
“The proposal in your 22nd August 2023 letter was an option discussed with us when my delegation met with you.”
