The University Teachers Association of Ghana, University of Ghana branch (UTAG-UG) says they have noted with grave concern the arrest and detention by the Ghana Police Service, of citizens who were congregating near the 37 Military Hospital on 21st September, 2023 to embark on a peaceful demonstration to the Jubilee House.
“We would like to remind the GPS that their unprofessional behaviour is an affront to, and has resulted in the violation of the rights of the demonstrators to freedoms of assembly, including the right to demonstrate in a peaceful manner, speech, association and movement, and their right to dignity guaranteed in the 1992 Constitution of Ghana . . . The recent tendency for the police to resort to court injunctions to prevent a constitutionally guaranteed right to expression instead of carrying out its constitutional duty of protecting citizens, is extremely worrisome and completely unacceptable,” a statement signed by its President, Prof. Ransford E. V. Gyampo said.
The Association is therefore calling on all concerned citizens and stakeholders to condemn such acts of arbitrariness, brutalization and perceived bias.

Prof. No one can under estimate your credentials in the academic world. However, of late you seem to pontificate on everything, even in areas where you have the least knowledge. As a Political Scientist, I hope you would agree with me that society is guided by rules and regulations to avoid anarchy, where survival of the fittest reigns. In as much as you talk about RIGHTS you have forgotten about RESPONSIBILITIES. I don't think you have been following developments in the United States of America where people have been jailed for attacking the White House. Go and read, and stop pontificating on almost every development in Ghana. Where in this world would people be allowed to demonstrate at the of Government. Not even the USA and any European country would allow that.
If UTAG-LEGON is going on this tangent then I wonder if this statement has the blessing of all members or just this ***barred word*** professor
Oh mother Ghana. UTAG is supporting Julor bi people. What a shame! Calling the august house “thi@f baby” and UTAG is happy with it.
Ghanaians are becoming more lawless. This same behavior can be seen in the conduct of the demonstrators and the police. The demonstrators can’t continue demonstrating when there is an injunction and the police must arrest them without any brutality.
Aboabanku, go and do what you do best. Chopping UG girls
This is simply ***barred word*** statement. They can go to presidential palace and demonstrate. What’s this. You call yourself professor. Professor with empty head
Eiii....the Jampo Prof. 'Asamasi for grades Prof'
UTAG-UG should immediately stop Bampo. Don't politicize UTAG. Stop him now, otherwise in the very near future, you will regret it. He is a loud mouth, he should speak for himself.
This man Gyampo has no shame. But for the bbc we would never have known that you have been eating the girls on UG campus basaabasaa. Now you are here try pontificate to us ***barred word***.
As for this prof, i weep for him. he knows everything. as if he is the only prof in Ghana with a PScience thinking. he shocks me. always in the media talking and jumping into little kids things. as if he does not understand the laws of the land. no wonder.
