The government on Wednesday commended residents in the Accra Metropolis for their comportment and discipline during the recent ban on drumming and noise making.
A statement signed by the Minister of Information and Presidential Affairs, Mr. Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey, specifically mentioned Ga Chiefs, the Wulomei, the Ga Adamgbe people, religious leaders as well as residents of Accra and said, “it was the collective commitment of all these stakeholders to a peaceful co-existence, that ensured no incident or flagrant breaches of the peace were recorded during the period of the ban.”
It stated further that the government placed on record its satisfaction with the handling of the issue by the Greater Accra Regional Co-ordinating Council and the Greater Accra Permanent Conflict Resolution and Management Committee.
It said the peaceful nature of the exercise was yet another demonstration of the maturity of the Ghanaian and his ability, to rise to the occasion when the situation demanded, noting that “It is the hope of the government that the achievement of this year will be built upon in successive years, in the spirit of unity in diversity.”
