The Minority in Parliament is organizing another demonstration against the Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), Dr. Ernest Addison. This comes after an unsuccessful attempt to present their petition during the first protest.
The protest, scheduled for July 30, will be led by Bawku Central MP Mahama Ayariga, who has obtained the necessary authorization and clearance from the police.
Ayariga is expected to spearhead the upcoming demonstration, rallying supporters and calling for transparency and accountability from the central bank.
“As we speak today, we are reliably informed that this head office building is being constructed for about 250 million dollars. The last time we cited the procurement document, the price had moved to about 222 million dollars, and so I wrote to the Governor to update us on the current cost of the head office building; he has been very reluctant to provide the information we have requested,” Ayariga stated.
He further disclosed that he had received an invitation from the police regarding the demonstration.
“I have received an invitation from the police for a meeting at 2:00 this afternoon. That is why I have invited you to know the ongoing processes to get us back on the streets to protest against the Bank of Ghana Governor and demand the removal of his deputies and the Board to have a change in the leadership of the Central Bank so that we can have a change in the direction of the management of the finances of this country,” Ayariga said.
