Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Dr. George Akuffo Dampare has instructed the police officers protecting the Arise Ghana pressure group protest not to treat the demonstrators rough.
Mr. Dampare informed the officers that the protesters were Ghanaians and human beings deserving of respect.

“We must never forget that these protesters are also people just like us. They are Ghanaians just like us, so we should treat them with the utmost respect, he remarked.

Today, Tuesday, June 28, members of Arise Ghana are participating in the protest known as #KromAyeShe.

According to them, the goal of the demonstration is to express opposition to the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration’s ongoing and exorbitant increases in fuel prices, which have caused Ghanaians to endure severe economic problems.

Additionally, it’s a protest against the callous Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration’s imposition of “the odious E-Levy on the already-burdened Ghanaian people.

“Demand a full-scale, bipartisan parliamentary investigation into COVID-19 spending; protest the government of Akufo-Addo and Bawumia’s officials’ appropriation of public lands, particularly their declassification of substantial areas of the Achimota Forest reserve.

“Protest against the growing culture of human rights abuses under the watch of President Akufo-Addo and Alhaji Bawumia, as well as the increased rate of police brutalities and state-sponsored murders of innocent Ghanaians.”
