The Inspector General of Police, Nana Owusu-Nsiah has commended the opposition NDC for the peaceful manner in which it conducted its demonstration in Accra on Tuesday. The demonstration was against the deteriorating living conditions of the citizenry under the ruling New Patriotic Party government, but there were fears that it would be bloody.
However, no incident of violence was recorded during the well attended demonstration.
The IGP in a congratulatory statement thanked particularly the organizers of the demonstration for living up to their promise to marshal and monitor the conduct of their followers. "Those who attended the demonstration and rally are also to be commended for their comportment."
Nana Owusu-Nsiah also praised other political parties for their maturity in not interfering in any way whatsoever with the NDC programme. He commended the discipline and professionalism of the Police and all other security agencies "who, in diverse ways helped towards the success of the demonstration and rally".
The IGP extended his gratitude to the media for their role in propagating peace before, during and after the demonstration and rally. He was hopeful that "all other political parties and civil society groups in other regions of Ghana will take a cue from today's event and organize their programmes in like manner with the full co-operation of the Police."
