The Minority in Parliament has postponed its planned protest against the Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), Dr. Ernest Addison, and his two deputies.

The demonstration, originally scheduled for July 30, will now take place on August 13.

In a letter addressed to the police on July 23, the Minority cited the launch of the National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) 2024 campaign in Tamale on July 27 as the reason for the delay.

Many Minority members will be participating in the campaign launch, leaving them inadequate time to prepare for the protest.

The letter, signed by Dr. Casiel Ato Forson, noted “following our discussion and conclusion of the date with your office, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) announced the 27th of July 2024 as the date of the launch of our national campaign in Tamale.”

“Given that this date is so close to our planned demonstration in Accra, the 27th July date has become inconvenient.”

The Minority requested the rescheduling of the protest, citing sections 1, 2, and 3 of the Public Order Act 1994 (Act 491).

“Pursuant to sections 1, 2, and 3 of the Public Order Act 1994 (Act 491), I hereby write to request for the rescheduling of the demonstration from its original date of Tuesday 30th July, 2024 to Tuesday 13th August, 2024, between the hours of 8:00am and 6:00pm. The route remains the same,” the letter signed by Dr Casiel Ato Forson stated.
