The Chairman of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Bernard Monarh, has today been discharged after being interrogated by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service.
Mr Monarh was invited to the CID offices via a letter dated May 28, 2020, to answer questions pertaining to some utterances he publicly made that were considered as “threats” on the EC.
After being discharged, Mr Monarh said he will continue to stand by his statements which he has described as a mere “caution’ to the EC for disregarding criticisms from Civil Society Organisations, to go forward with the compilation of its new voters’ register.

“We shall not allow our freedoms in any form to be trampled by any person. President Nana Akufo-Addo cannot stifle the freedoms that we are granted by the Constitution. Those freedoms include the freedom to speak and we will speak. We will dare them and we will speak the truth because, at all point in time, we must correct the ills in our society which if we don’t correct, has the potential of eroding the peace and stability of our nation,” he said.
“This afternoon I have just gone through a cordial process with the police. My statement is that I made the statements that are contained in the 37-second video and that I stand by those statements and I have nothing more to add…The EC must know that their actions have the potential to plunge this nation into calamity. We are cautioning them that if they do not heed to us and anything happens to this country, they will not be safe,” he said to loud cheers by the supporters who defied the rains to wait outside while he was being interrogated.
