Representatives of political parties, youth groups, Persons with disability, Muslim communities, the Clergy and security agencies attended the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Madam Konama said Ghana was in a region where extreme violence and terrorism were common hence the need for the citizenry to be vigilant, especially at public spaces.<\/p>\n<p>She said activities of extremists had led to the death of innocent people and called on Ghanaians to contribute to national efforts to avert the occurrence of such mayhem in Ghana. She said it was important for people to be security conscious even at the community level in order not to compromise the security of the citizenry.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Mathew Agbenu, the Municipal Director of the NCCE, reminded the participants of the crucial roles they could play to influence their respective constituents to contribute to the maintenance of peace, law and order. He urged them to promote peaceful co-existence and national cohesion as leaders of their various groups in the interest of national development.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Bala Jibrim, the Municipal Police Commander, who took the participants through the Public Order Act 491, explained the importance of notifying the police ahead of organising any public event.<\/p>\n<p>He said the Act was to enable the police to determine whether the event could endanger peace and security as well as to help provide adequate security for it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/ghana\">Ghana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ghana.
