Campaigners of the #fix the country movement have hinted that they will soon give a date for a demonstration after seeing a successful one carried out by members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the country.
According to them, they are bent on carrying out the protest when the right time is due and no law or security personnel can stop them.
The campaigners added that they have already scheduled a similar demonstration in the United Kingdom on July 30th and its motive is to create the same awareness that the country Ghana needs fixing under the current administration of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
A campaigner and communicator with the movement, John Komson who spoke on A1 Radio, stressed that they were taken aback by the police for not allowing them to demonstrate though a political party was given such an opportunity.
“You see why the country actually needs fixing. The ordinary people don’t matter anymore. The security agencies now worship the politicians and their affiliates to the neglect of the ordinary citizens who pay them every day. We requested the police to give us go-ahead for our peaceful match, they refuse, but when a political party requested a similar thing in no time they granted it, so where is the fairness. So, what I’m saying is that we are bent on carrying out this demonstration. The country needs fixing, so we are lacing our boots towards that. But before we stage that demonstration in Ghana, we have already scheduled a similar demonstration in the United Kingdom on July 30th 2021. Its motive is to create the same awareness that the country Ghana actually needs fixing under the current administration of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). After which the Ghana one too will be carried out. So, trust us, we will tell this government what the youth want and should be provided for.”
Touching on whether some of their members were part of the NDC’s protest, Mr. komson stated that their members did not take part as the protest has nothing to do with their movement.
“We are law obedient citizens and do not jump into things. We do not belong to any political party, we are youth that seek the growth of this country and if the government of the day is not doing things right, we will call such a government to order. So, the NDC demonstration was not something we should be part of.”
He stressed that though some of the issues raised by the NDC were legitimate, they (members of NDC) should ask themselves why they failed Ghanaians when they were in office.
He, however, called on the Ghanaian youth to start lacing their boots as the date for the demonstration will soon be communicated to them.
