The President of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) Albert Kwabena Dwumfour has commended the Ghana Police Service for their "high level of professionalism" in handling of the Democracy Hub demonstrators.
According to him, the Police were professional in the face of what appeared as extreme provocation on the side of demonstrators. "I want to commend the Ghana Police Service for exhibiting a high level of professionalism and restraint during the recent three-day protest against Galamsey by some individuals.
We note some excesses and provocations that occurred during the demonstration, and the GJA condemns these excesses," the GJA President in his address at the 75th GJA awards in Accra.
