The protest, which took place from September 21 to September 23, was organised to protest issues such as bad governance, high taxes and skyrocketing inflation that have affected living standard conditions.

Despite the first day's chaotic scene which inconvenienced many, the demonstrators returned on subsequent days and successfully conducted their procession, even though they were prevented from approaching the seat of government.

Speaking on TV3's Keypoint, Professor Gyampo praised the protesters for their determination to apply pressure on authorities and for not allowing themselves to become a passive and politically polarised population.

He emphasised the importance of citizens holding politicians accountable and not blindly defending bad governance.

Meanwhile, the police in a statement have issued an apology to the public and members of the protest who were one way or another inconvenienced.
