Pressure Group Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG)
will hit the streets in Accra next week in a demonstration they have christened
"aagbewo" meaning they are killing us. At a news
conference in Accra, leader of the group, Dr. Nana Ayew Afriyie said the
demonstration is premised on the widespread corruption and unbearable hardships
that have been inflicted on Ghanaians. The demonstration is slated for
Thursday, November 6, 2014. According to him, the cost of the ongoing construction work at Circle in Accra has been inflated
by several millions of euros. Dr Afriyie minced no words in describing President
John Mahama as an "opportunistic" leader whose "indecision"
is gravely affecting Ghanaians. The National Petroleum Authority only last week
announced a two per cent reduction in petroleum products but AFAG is
unimpressed. Dr Afriyie described the reduction as an insult to Ghanaians. This
is not the first time AFAG has gone on demonstration. Since 2009, the group has
embarked on a series of demonstrations in protest over hardships in the
country.
