‘This Akufo-Addo, Bawumia government is useless' - Apaak reacts to #OccupyJulorbiHouse arrests

The Member of Parliament for Bulsa South, Clement Apaak, has strongly criticized the recent arrests of participants in the #OccupyJulorbiHouse protest organized by Democracy Hub.

Clement Apaak described the government led by President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Bawumia as "useless" for its alleged suppression of citizens' rights.

"The arrest of the protesters is needless. This USELESS Akufo-Addo/Bawumia gov't is only good at using the power it holds in trust for the people to deny the same their rights. Citizens are beaten and arrested for demonstrating under a human rights lawyer," Apaak tweeted.

His remarks come in the wake of the Ghana Police Service's arrests of several protesters who sought to participate in an anti-government demonstration, #OccupyJulorbiHouse.

The protest had been organized to voice grievances against the government.

The arrest of the protesters follows a contentious issue where the police refuted claims that they had failed to serve an injunction application to the conveners of Democracy Hub, the organizers of the #OccupyJulorbiHouse protest.
