The Minority in Parliament has rejected calls by the police to use alternative routes for its planned protest against the governor of the Bank of Ghana.
The Minority has set September 5, 2023, as the date for its planned protest against the governor of the Bank of Ghana.
As part of the protest, the organizers intend to picket at the headquarters of the central bank.
However, the Police has advised that they use alternative routes.
The Police in a statement explained that the routes selected by the Minority may endanger public safety.
But the Minority Leader, Cassiel Ato Forson in a letter addressed to the Greater Accra Police Command rejected the proposal for them to use alternative routes.
“Your attempt to deny us an opportunity to terminate our #OccupyBoG protest at the Headquarters of the Bank of Ghana on the pretext that it is a “security zone” is untenable, troubling and unwholesome for the Ghana Police Service’s motto of Service with Integrity.”
“How is the Bank of Ghana Headquarters designated by the Police as a security zone and the Cedi House, another Bank of Ghana edifice that the Police proposed that we march through not a security zone? I do not want to believe that you are citing or hiding behind “security zone” to thwart our planned protest and for the Police to shirk its constitutional duty of providing security for persons who desire to publicly manifest their revulsion and abhorrence at the central bank’s reckless management.”
