Dennis Miracles Aboagye, Spokesperson for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, called on the Government to demonstrate greater tolerance for dissenting opinions in Accra ahead of the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) "Democracy Under Attack" demonstration scheduled for Thursday. He warned that attempts to intimidate critics undermine Ghana's democratic credentials, stating, "If you are in government and people are afraid to speak, then what becomes of democracy?"
