The Ghana Police Service has commended the Arise Ghana demonstrators, the public, and its officers for the successful outcome of day two of the protest.
According to the police in a statement, the protest against the rising cost of living in Ghana was incident-free.
While expressing gratitude, the Service also condemned the riotous conduct of demonstrators on the first day when clashes with police erupted and 29 people were arrested.
“Whilst we continue to register our disappointment at the riotous conduct of the demonstrators on the first day, we commend them for their comportment today which, we hope would provide lessons for future occasions to help deepen our democratic practices,” the statement issued on Wednesday, June 29, said.
The statement signed by Director of Public Affairs, Grace Ansah-Akrofi, reiterated the Service’s commitment to Ghana’s rule of law.
