He was commenting on the recent Arise Ghana demonstration which saw scores of people pour onto the streets in protest against economic hardship. “I have said the only time I will embark on a demonstration on the streets is when someone takes the gun to overthrow the constitution [coup d’état]. But if someone attempts to stage a coup d’état to disrupt the 4th Republic, for that I will hit the streets,” Kweku Baako said. He criticized the violent nature of the first day [June 28] of the Arise Ghana demonstration. Meanwhile, the second day of the demonstration [June 29] was incident-free and has elicited commendation from the Ghana Police Service.
