The acting Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare has promised the #fixthecountry protestors of maximum protection on the upcoming demonstration that has been slated for August 4th 2021.
#Thefixthecountry demonstrators were invited to the office of the new IGP who assured them of police protection from the start of the demonstration to the end.
Together with the demonstrators, the IGP and other Police Chiefs went through the routes for the demonstration.
“The meeting was held at the request of the newly appointed IGP. According to him, his reason for calling the meeting was to assure us of maximum protection from the start to the end of the August 4 #FixTheCountry protest.
“We went over the routes earmarked for the protest from Obra spot (Circle) — Farisco Left — TUC — Kinbu Senior High School – Centre for National Culture – to Independence Square. We also explained that we have recruited and trained marshals who will be assigned to liaise with police on anything and to guide the crowd.
“On COVID-19 protocols, the marshals will be in charge of making sure everybody wears their masks and maintaining distance”, the group stated on Facebook.
Meanwhile actress Efia Odo was one of the front fighters of the demonstration but bowed out claiming that her mental health is at stake.
