The leaders of the pressure group, Arise Ghana, have scheduled 22 August for another demonstration, this time to be held in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.
“In keeping with our mandate and objective, Arise Ghana will be staging a second of it intended nationwide demonstrations on 22 August 2022 in Kumasi, the Ashanti regional capital.”
They are protesting the current hardships in the country. The group earlier staged a demonstration in Accra, which saw hundreds of participants.
Speaking at a press briefing on Tuesday, a leading member of the group, Bernard Mornah outlined their demands for the demonstration.
“This second demonstration just like the maiden one in Accra has been necessitated by the excruciating hardships confronting the average Ghanaian citizen occasioned by the opposition of draconian taxes, high cost of petroleum product, skyrocketing inflation, the free fall of the national currency; the cedi, high level of unemployment amongst the youth.”
