PRESS STATEMENT
March 25, 2013
POLICE WARNED; MEIKU DEMO POSTPONED TO
TUESDAY 16th APRIL, 2013
At a meeting with the Ghana Police Service, the police
informed us of an order to send personnel to Kumasi to support
the Kumasi police command on combating rising disturbances in
the garden city. As a result, the police informed us of their
inability to provide security and support for the
twenty-thousand, 20,000, people who were going to demonstrate
against the economic mismanagement and waste of the
Mahama-Amissah care taker government.
AFAG insisted on finding ways around this but the police went
to court for an injunction restraining us from the
demonstration. As a peaceful group, we sat with the Regional
Police Commander and his team to agree on a new date and
route.
AFAG has agreed with the police to demonstrate on Tuesday,
16th of April, 2013. We use this medium to send a clear
message to the Police and other agencies to stay off our
protest, for the Ghanaian people will not entertain any
further excuse. The agreed date is non-negotiable and
reversible.
AFAG wishes to inform the nation that, our respect for peace
should not be taken as a form of weakness.
God bless Ghana,
Signed
Davis Opoku Ansah
