General News of Wednesday, 16 September 2020Source: www.ghanaweb.comASEPA ignores police, sets September 21 for demo against Agyapa dealExecutive Secretary of ASEPA, Mensah ThomposnThe Alliance for Social Equity and Public Accountability (ASEPA), has set Monday, September 21, 2020, as the day it will be embarking on a massive demonstration against the controversial Agyapa Gold Royalties deal despite a refusal by the Ghana Police Service to sanction the demonstration. “We sent a letter to the police and the police said they will not sanction the demonstration for us, but the demonstration is going to happen. The Ghana Police Service in their response to ASEPA indicated that they are unable to sanction the intended demonstration because of the restrictions imposed on public gatherings of persons exceeding 200. The police further noted that a breach of such manner could endanger public health safety and security, and therefore underscored that it could not sanction a demonstration in a COVID-19 era.
