The Ghana Police Service says it does not oppose demonstration by the citizenry.
In a press release signed by Director, Public Affairs of the Police Service, ACP Grace Ansah-Akrofi, the Service emphasized that it has track record of providing security for demonstrators in the past.
“Following the end of the three-day demonstration by the above-mentioned group, the Police would like to express gratitude to members of the public, especially those in Accra, for their support and understanding while we worked within our mandate to maintain law and order during the demonstration.
“We would like to assure the public once again, that the Service is not against any person or group of persons who may want to demonstrate.
“We have a track record of providing security for demonstrations in the past and would continue to do so within the confines of the law,” she added.

Then why do you always rush to the court to injunct every demo that is perceived to be anti-government? It is not your duty to prevent demonstrations but to provide security for those demonstrating. The right to demonstrate has sacrosanct protection in our constitution and nobody should attempt to take it away. Since citizens can not take up guns it is the only tool they have and now you want to take that away too?
