The Ghana Police Service on Tuesday, October 24, 2023, met stakeholders from the creative arts industry to discuss the upcoming ‘December in Ghana’ activities and how to safeguard lives in such a period.
The IGP, when asked how the Police have been handling demonstrations under his watch, said, “We want to say that, there is this misconception that police don’t want people to demonstrate. Who are we that we can stop anybody from demonstrating? From today on, we want you to let the message out there that we are not against anybody demonstrating.
“So, when you want to demonstrate, inform the police, and if we engage the organizers of the demonstration and make sure that no one will be harmed or affected in the process, then we give you the green light.
We will come and support you for the demonstration to be done in a peaceful manner and that has been all our wish.”
