The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament for Kpando, Della Sowah has expressed disappointment at the reaction of Bank of Ghana Boss, Dr.Ernest Addison.
According to her, the reaction from Dr.Addison to the Minority’s #OccupyBoG demonstration was unfortunate.
She added that for such a comment to come from him, is a show of arrogance and ignorance.
Speaking to Thespectatoronline, the MP said, according to Article 21(1)(d) of Ghana’s 1992 Constitution (as amended): “All persons shall have the right to freedom of assembly, including freedom to take part in processions and demonstrations.
She added Dr.Addison wouldn’t have described this as uncivilised and action by hooligans if he were privy to this constitutional provision.
Della Sowah said demonstrations are legitimate alternatives for Ghanaians regardless of their position in society to express their disapproval of wrong policies and measures by governments.
She asked where Dr.Addison was when the current President, ministers and others close to this government were leading demonstrations in Ghana.
Della Sowah advised that with the challenges faced by the economy as a result of bad monetary policies and actions of the Bank of Ghana and the government, the least he could do as a Governor is to show respect to people who have been affected.
She said the Minority will not be perturbed by the level of disrespect and arrogance by officials of this government but will continuously hold them accountable and fight for the people of Ghana.
The Minority in parliament together with some aggrieved Ghanaians marched to the Bank of Ghana on Tuesday, October 3, to protest against what they describe as mismanagement by the Bank of Ghana.
Unfortunately, they did not present their petition due to the absence of the governors and vowed to return to the central bank with their petition.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
