The Volta regional police command, has issued a warning to the people of Ho and and the Volta NPP Grassroots for Justice regarding the demonstration against the reappointment of the incumbent Volta Regional minister of Ghana, Archibald Letsa, who was appointed by President Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo-Addo in January 2017 and was approved by the Members of Parliament in February 2017.
According to them, Dr Letsa failed to meet the party’s target of getting 5 parliamentary seats in the Volta Region, which is the stronghold of the NDC, thus he neither served in the intetest of his people and party nor fulfil their projection.
In a communique issued by the police yesterday, they stated that, due to the abrupt increase in covid19 cases, it is clear that the demonstration will peril the health and safety of the people.
It reads; “Information reaching the Volta regional Police command indicate that an unknown group intends to demonstrate on the streets of Ho township on Monday. 25 January, 2021 to register their displeasure on the nomination of Hon. Dr. Archibald Yao Letsa as the Volta Regional minister designate,” the statement read.
It added that, “And whereas the command per any properly organised special event by members of the public is duty-bound to provide security for law abiding citizens to engage in such legitimate activities like demonstrations and processions, the upsurge in Covid-19 cases across the country and particularly the Volta region makes it obvious that such an event will endanger public health and safety.”
As a result, the police command is cautioning the public against any such moves.
“In view of the above, the command is resolved to promote public health and safety. Accordingly, an intended ENOUGH IS ENOUGH demonstration in Ho has not been sanctioned by the command and all must take note and be warned of the consequences of non compliance.”
