The Minority in Parliament has announced September 5, 2023, as the date for their planned demonstration against the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Ernest Addison and its Board of Directors.
According to the minority caucus in a statement, the planned action will be joined by Civil Society Organisations and other groups.
The protest, it noted, is to demand the immediate resignation of the Governor, Deputy Governors and Board of Directors of the Bank having already served notice.
They have therefore served the Greater Accra Regional Police Command and informed the service of its decision on September 5.
“The purpose of this protest is to express our revulsion at the illegal printing of money (about GHS80 billion) between 2021 and 2022 by the BoG for the corrupt Akufo-Addo/Bawumia/NPP government which led to a hyperinflation rate of 54.1 per cent in December 2022.
“We write in line with sections 1,2, and 3 of the Public Order Act 1994 (Act491), to notify you of an impending public protest to be embarked upon by the Minority in Parliament in collaboration with Civil Society Organisations, Progressive Forces and other well-meaning Ghanaians,” the statement signed by Dr Ato Forson said.
According to the minority leader, Dr Ato Forson, the demonstrators will converge in front of Parliament, and then march through some principal streets in the capital and end at the Bank of Ghana.
