Again? Wishful thinking. Okay.Gha...Ooooh my friend! Again? Wishful thinking. Okay.<BR/><BR/>Ghana Police and their crazy unthinking leadership made moves to block demonstrations, and you question the legal state of that directive? Yes the constitution grants the police that right to make such orders by obtaining the 'extra' power in court. The citizenry can demonstrate under police protection, and they must notify the police for a number of days before they do that. So says the law.<BR/><BR/>The police can say no if their resources are over-stretched (i didn't say limited). <BR/><BR/>So if heads of states are meeting and the police feel this demands their utter concentration and as such they can't protect a demonstrating faction of the citizenry, i think they have a sensible argument. Besides, these people who wanted to demonstrate would not be able to enter the conference centre or even its vicinity, if you don't know.Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01413871396464391462noreply@blogger.com
