#FixTheCountry convenors rally support for nationwide protests after Aug. 4

 


Organizers of the social media movement #FixTheCountry are already soliciting ideas from interested Ghanaians as to how to organize demonstrations outside the country’s capital city, Accra.

The call was made in concluding a statement issued on Thursday, July 15 to announce the routes of the Wednesday, August 4 demonstration.

The campaigners had served notice of staging regional and nationwide protests after agreeing with the Inspector General of Police, James Oppong-Boanuh, on Monday, July 5 for the Founders’ Day protest in Accra.

The statement on Thursday said the organizers have finalized the route with the Ghana Police Service.

“We wish to inform the general public that in accordance with the Public Order Act, the Ghana Police Service will be assisting the protest by directing the routes of the event to prevent obstruction of pedestrians or vehicular traffic.”

The march is planned to start from the Obra Spot at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle Interchange at 6:30 am and end at the Black Star Square, where the protesters will be addressed.

“We expect and advise all attendees to observe the necessary public health measures and all other announcements.”

The demonstration will be held after a protracted legal tussle between the campaigners and the police.

The Accra Regional Command had secured a restraining order from an Accra High Court to stop an initial May 9 demonstration by the #FixTheCountry activists with the pretext that the country’s Covid situation may escalate.

The campaigners, therefore, took the protest online.

On Friday, June 25, the Accra High Court quashed the restraining order but ordered the demonstrators to follow the laid-down procedure in staging a street protest.

2016 Election rigged – Mahama

Charlotte Osei and Former President John Dramani Mahama Former President John Dramani Mahama has cast doubts over the integrity of the elections which ousted him from power, claiming the polls were rigged. It’s the most strident remark he has made about the 7th December 2016 polls in recent times, suggesting that he is still smarting from the anguish of losing power in an election he believed he was going to win hands down come what may. The elections he lost registered him in the annals of local politics as the first sitting President to lose polls after just a term in office – the cause of his persistent sulking. He presented his impression about the 2016 polls last week at the Oxford University Said Business School Distinguished Speaker Seminar organized in collaboration with the African Studies Centre and the Oxford Africa Business Alliance. The presentation was shortly after making the headlines for describing as ‘useless’ the invitation by the Criminal Inve...
