Court re-directs Time and Route for CGRG Demonstrator Accra, Sept. 17, GNA – An Accra Circuit Court
has ordered Concerned Ghanaians for Responsible
Governance (CGRG) to re-direct the routes and time
of a slated Demonstration which is to take place
on September 22.
The court in granting an ex-parte motion directed
that the demonstration be held from 0500 hour to
1400 hours, and that, the route of the said
demonstration should start from Obra Spot to
Farisco Traffic Light and end at Hearts Park.
Chief Inspector Francis Tassan, who moved the
motion, argued that, the route plan of the
organizers was not conducive to security
arrangement.
According to Chief Inspector Tassan, using the Ako
Adjei fly over through Flagstaff House will be a
security threat.
Chief Inspector Tassan told the court that on
September 15, a notification letter was received
from CGRG announcing their intention to state a
peaceful protest.
The Chief Inspector noted that although the
purpose of the event was not stated by the
organizers, they wanted to hold the demonstration
from 0500 hours to 2000 hours.
Considering the public interest and security,
Chief Inspector Tassan said the Police would
prefer the convergence point at Obra Spot at the
Kwame Nkrumah Circle and end at the Hearts Park in
Accra.
