Conveners for the #OccupyBoG demonstration will today, Tuesday, October 3, converge at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra to embark on their much-talked about protest.
The protest is being organised by the Minority Caucus in Parliament and other pressure groups who are against the continued stay of office of the BoG governor, Dr. Ernest Addison and his two deputies.
The theme for the demo is "Stop the stealing, we are suffering."
The group is demanding that the Central Bank’s governor and his deputies resign over GH¢60 billion loss the bank recorded in the 2022 fiscal year as well as the controversial new head office project of the central bank.
The Director of Public Affairs of the Ghana Police Service (GPS), Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Grace Ansah-Akrofi in a statement said that the protesters were expected to converge at the Obra Spot at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle and proceed to Adabraka – Ridge Roundabout – National Theatre Traffic Light -High Court Complex Traffic Light – Attah Mills Highway and make a U-Turn at the National Lottery Authority and terminate at the Independence Square.
The Minority's demonstration comes after the recent #OccupyJulorBiHouse demonstration, organised by a group called Democratic Hub on September 21, 2023, turned violent on the first day after the protestors clashed with the police service.
