Executive Director of the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA), Sulemana Braimah, has praised the Ghana Police Service for its "professional handling" of the recent Democracy Hub demonstration.
He commended the police for their approach, which he attributed to the leadership of the Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare.
In a Facebook post, Mr Braimah described the police's conduct as “refreshing” and a significant step toward upholding Ghana’s constitutional right to freedom of expression.
He noted that the calm manner in which the police dealt with the protest was a positive indication of progress in safeguarding citizens' rights.
Mr Braimah further highlighted the shift in the police force’s approach, observing that under the leadership of Dr. Dampare, the service has moved away from its historical reliance on brute force to maintain law and order during protests.
