The Minority in Parliament is set to meet with the Ghana Police Service in preparation for a second #OccupyBoG demonstration, aimed at demanding the resignation of the Bank of Ghana’s Governor and his deputies.
The planned protest, scheduled to take place in the coming weeks, has prompted the Minority to engage with law enforcement to ensure a peaceful and orderly event.
In a formal petition submitted on Monday, August 12, Minority Leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson emphasized the importance of maintaining the same peaceful conduct as during the previous #OccupyBoG protest. The Minority is seeking the cooperation of the police to guarantee the safety of all participants.
Dr. Forson highlighted that the protest is a direct response to what he described as the “gross mismanagement” of Ghana’s economy under the current leadership of the Bank of Ghana. He reiterated calls for accountability and transparency, insisting on the immediate resignation of the central bank’s officials, who he believes are undermining public confidence in the financial system.
To avoid any disruptions to public order, the Minority has requested an early meeting with the police to discuss the modalities of the demonstration and agree on a suitable date.
“In view of the foregoing, the Minority kindly requests a meeting with the Police at a venue and time of your choice, to consider the modalities for our demonstration against the Governor of the Bank of Ghana and his deputies,” the letter stated.
