The #OccupyBoG protest headed by the National Democratic Congress (NDC), with support from civil society groups and other political parties, commenced today with demonstrators taking over the streets of Accra.
The gathering point for the protesters was at Obra Spot in Circle, Accra. The primary objective is to demand the immediate removal of the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Ernest Addison and his two deputies.
This demand arises from what they described as significant incompetence on the part of these officials, which they believe has directly contributed to the financial challenges faced by the Bank of Ghana.
Clad in black and red attire, the protesters were chanting songs and holding placards bearing various slogans, including ‘Mr Printer Stop Printing Money For Criminals’, ‘Misgovernor Addison’, and ‘Akyem Mafia Government’ among others as they express their frustration and convey their demands to the government.
