This has become necessary following disagreements between the police and demonstrators over routes and where to picket in street protests.

Speaking at a press conference in Accra, Mr. Yaw Acheampong Boafo, President of GBA said the Association acknowledged the rights of all persons to freedom of assembly including the freedom to participate in procession and demonstrations. those events should have identifiable and recognised organizers or leaders.

Mr Boafo said people embarking on or taking part in processions and demonstrations should always be mindful of the presence of the police and ensure that law and order was maintained during processions.

He said demonstrators should also be mindful that themes of demonstrations were not insulting and derogatory.

On this year's GBA Conference, Mr Boafo said the Association was not an appendage of any political party and would not be coerced to serve the partisan interest of any group.

It asked the government to invest more in public basic schools to arrest the falling standards.

The GBA President touching the recent spillage from the Akosombo Dam, urged all Ghanaians to support efforts to rescue and resettle all affected persons.
