Leaders of the OccupyBoG demonstration have indicated that their petition must be received by the governor of the Bank of Ghana, Ernest Addison.
Minority leader, Cassiel Ato Forson indicates that the demonstrators will abide by the route dedicated to them by the police but will make sure that the governor of the Bank of Ghana receives the petition. He indicates that they would do anything possible to ensure the petition is presented to him.
The minority in parliament is leading a demonstration dubbed OccupyBoG. They are demanding the immediate removal of the governor of the Bank of Ghana over what they described as abuse of power.
According to Cassiel Ato Forson, the demonstrators are ready to stay at the Central Bank for as long as they can if the boss, Dr Ernest Addison does not avail himself to be served with the petition.
“He [Ernest Addison] should be the one to receive it. No one else. We are not handing over the petition to any other person. Not his deputies but he himself. We want to see him and give him the justification why it is in his own interest and the interest of the people of Ghana for him to say ‘bye bye’ to the central bank.” He indicated.
