The Minority in Parliament has changed the date of the protest march against the Bank of Ghana (BoG) Governor, Dr Ernest Addison.
Initially planned for today, September 5, the date has now been moved to September 12.
In a statement signed by Minority Leader, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, it indicated that the change in date is due to the outcome of proceedings in court on September 4, 2023.
It said the court was unable to give an instant ruling due to the weight of the preliminary legal objections raised by lawyers for the Minority in Parliament, and requested the indulgence of the Minority to give its ruling on Friday, September 8, 2023.
"As law-abiding citizens respectful of the judiciary, we have decided to reschedule our protest taking into consideration the developments"
The Ghana Police Service on Wednesday filed for an injunction against the Minority’s proposed routes for its protest.
The Minority in Parliament were set converge in front of Parliament, and then march through some principal streets in Accra including Osu cemetery Traffic light area, Makola-Rawlings Park, Opera Square and end at the Bank of Ghana.
However, the police argue that the route is often overcrowded with human and vehicular traffic and thus going by that route could endanger public order, public safety and the running of essential services.
They had proposed an alternate route starting from the Parliament House through the Osu Cemetery Traffic Light to end at Independence Square, which the minority rejected.
