Kwabena Agyepong has chided the National Democratic Congress (NDC) over its planned demonstration against the Electoral Commission.
The Police has approved the demonstration which is scheduled for September 17.
NDC General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, revealed this while addressing the media at the EC Headquarters after a meeting between the leadership of the party and the Accra Regional Police Command.
“We had a very good meeting with the regional police bosses and the agreement is that we are going to proceed with our demonstration on the 17th of this month. And it’s going to happen not just in Greater Accra but in all the other Regions of the country at the same time.
“We wanted to have a confirmation about the endpoint – in terms of the route, we had an agreement that we are going to start from the Kwame Nkrumah Circle, proceed through Farisco Traffic Light through to TUC, continue through the Ministry and come all the way to Parliament and end up in front of the premises of the Electoral Commission”, he said.
Commenting on the protest during Peace FM’s “Kokrokoo” show, Kwabena Agyepong stressed the NDC has no moral right to undertake such action.
Making reference to the history of the opposition party, Mr. Agyepong said; “I don’t think they have that moral authority to be saying those things. They say things just for political expediency. It doesn’t augur well for the government.”
However, he emphasized that no one should be gagged from expressing their minds but insisted it should be done with decorum.
“Let everyone freely express himself or herself without engaging in a fight nor resorting to insults”, he stated.
