NPP demonstration meant to mar one-year helicopter crash anniversary - Solomon Owusu
Solomon Owusu, Director of Communications for the United Party, criticized the opposition New Patriotic Party's (NPP) nationwide demonstration on Thursday, 6 August, on JoyNews' AM Show. He alleged that the protest was deliberately organized to overshadow the first anniversary of a tragic incident that claimed the lives of 8 gallant men. Mr. Owusu stated, "They have no business whatsoever being on the street. I say it from the heart of my heart. I think they decided to do this demonstration just to mar the one-year anniversary of our departed souls. That is all they are talking about."
Mr. Owusu argued that the NPP had "no business whatsoever" taking to the streets, insisting the demonstration, themed "Democracy Under Attack," was politically motivated. He dismissed assertions that individuals had been arrested merely for speaking their minds, questioning if that was the truth or the case. Mr. Owusu also pointed to demonstrations organized by the NPP while it was in government, arguing the party had previously exercised its constitutional right to protest without interference.
