“Use of guns by demonstrators unacceptable, leaders must be stopped” – Ablakwa

The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has condemned the planned June 4 “armed” demonstration by the #fixthecountry conveners.

The Accra Regional Command of the Ghana Police Service declined a request from #FixTheCountry convener Oliver Barker-Vormawor and his team to demonstrate.

In a statement, the Police said the nature and character of the demonstration as intended, is inconsistent with the Public Order Act hence the decision to stop it.
