Following a planned demonstration by a group called as “Justice for Ghana,” the Ceremonial Gate to Ghana’s Parliament has been closed today, December 8, 2021.

Until their demands are granted, the group has threatened to picket the precincts of parliament.

The Marshall of Parliament issued a message instructing parliamentary service employees and MPs to use the “Protocol Gate” and carry their IDs for security checks.

“The goal is to keep this group’s members out of the Parliamentary Enclave tomorrow.” Staff who do not have ID cards may be denied admission, according to the memo.

Meanwhile, the Police Administration claims that suitable security measures have been put in place for today’s “Justice 4 Ghana” event, which is set to take place on Wednesday, December 8, 2021.

But the Police revealed appeals to have the organizers rescind their decision not to picket at Parliament proved futile and since secured a court order to stop them from picketing.

The Police in a statement said it has secured the necessary approvals for the demonstration.
