-

 

Ashanti regional Youth Organizer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dennis Kwakwa has said that, the NPP government has done enough for the country to appreciate him.

Scores of Ghanaians have hit the streets of Accra to protest against the government dubbed #fixthecountry.

Protestors clad in black and red demanded that government addresses the many economic and social challenges facing the country.

Some of them hold placards with the inscription, “High Rate of Taxes killing us, Ghana Youth must arise, our roads are bad, Wake up Mr. President etc.

Some of the participant stormed the Obra Spot near Kwame Nkrumah Circle as early as 6:00 am to commence the march.

Some protesters travelled all the way from Toase, Obuasi, Bibiani and the Northern part of the country to support the demonstrations.

Dennis Kwakwa speaking to Joynewsplus stated that, though Ghanaians have the right to embark on demonstration to express their concerns against the government but this government has fulfill some of the promises he made to the people prior to the elections.

According to him, the people believe in President Akufo Addo hence the need for them to embark on that demonstration.

He added that, “The government has been able to implement Free SHS policy when others thought he can’t do it, One- District, One- Factory is ongoing, construction of major roads are also ongoing etc.

“Again unemployment rate has reduced making life easier and better for Ghanaians especially the youth”, he said.

To the Editor,

To the Editor, Why I didn’t show up for the morning news production on Monday On that fateful day (Monday, April 4 th 2022) I was preparing to come and produce the morning news despite the heavy rainfall and lack of electricity in my area. I was ready to come around 4:30am when my father ordered me to wait due to crime rate in my area and especially such an ungodly hour. From where l stay, I have to board a taxi to the main road before getting a car to work but unfortunately, there was no car at the time I arrived there around 5:10am because of the rain and lack of electricity. I had no other option than to wait because I might be attacked if I decided to walk to the main road that’s why I couldn’t get here on time to produce to morning news. Thank you                                     ...
