Minority Postpone Occupy BoG protest to October 3rd over safety concern

The Minority caucus in Parliament has for the second time postponed its planned protest to occupy the premises of the Bank of Ghana to demand the resignation of the governor and his deputies.
The protest will now be held on the 3rd of October 2023.

The decision to postpone the protest according to the minority comes after the Police failed to mark out safe zones for the protest.

The minority had earlier insisted that the protest would proceed on Tuesday, September 12, despite the Ghana Police Service’s disapproval of its amended routes for the protest.

The meeting between the leadership of the Minority and the police ended inconclusively on Monday, with the MPs accusing the police of deliberately scheming to stop their planned protest for the removal of the Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG) and his deputies.

After three hours of meeting, the Minority told journalists that the police had failed to mark out a favorable route to them for the protest, hence their conclusion to embark on the demonstration.
