Executive Director, Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA), Sulemana Braimah, says the "Professional handling of the demonstration" of the Democracy Hub group by the Ghana Police Service is "refreshing and a step in the right direction towards upholding the constitutional right of freedom of expression in Ghana".
He says the tolerance of the Police towards the demonstrators shows an organization that has departed from its history of using brute force to face as a mechanism for maintaining law and order during demonstrations.
According to him, the Dampare-led Police Service has carved a positive image for the country and its democratic credentials."It is gratifying to see our Police Service exercise such restraint while enforcing the law in the face of what appeared like a deliberate attempt to provoke them.
This show of rare professionalism in policing certainly helps to deepen the growth of our democracy under this IGP and I will encourage him to continue with his exemplary leadership".
