Arise Ghana ‘Krom AyƐ Hye’ demo heats up as hundreds of people hit the streets

Protestors are gathering for the much-awaited Arise Ghana demonstration in the capital, Accra against stark hardship in Ghana.

Momentum is building for the “Krom AyƐ Hye demo” as hundreds of protesters all donning red and black attire get set for the march from the Obra Spot marching through “Farisco” and “TUC” junctions to the Independence Square.

The two-day demonstration by pressure group Arise Ghana is set to begin by midday.

Among others, the group which is made up of different political parties is protesting alleged corruption in the Akufo-Addo government.

“Protest against persistent and astronomical hikes in fuel prices by the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government that has imposed excruciating economic hardships on Ghanaians.

“Protest against the imposition of the obnoxious E-Levy on the already-burdened Ghanaian people by the insensitive Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government and demand for its immediate repeal.

“Demand a full scale and bi-partisan parliamentary probe into COVID-19 expenditures.

“Protest against the grabbing of State lands by officials of the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government, particularly the de-classification of huge portions of the Achimota Forest reserve.

“Protest against the increased rate of police brutalities and state-sponsored killing of innocent Ghanaians, as well as the growing culture of human rights abuses under the watch of President Akufo-Addo and Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia,” their statement noted.
