The Minority Caucus has moved the date of their planned demonstration against Dr. Ernest Addison, Governor of the Bank of Ghana, and his appointees to September 12, 2023.
“The decision made in court today, September 4, 2023, led to the alteration in the date. Due to the weight of the preliminary legal arguments submitted by the lawyers representing the Minority in Parliament, the court was unable to make a decision right away and asked for the Minority’s indulgence to make its decision on Friday, September 8, 2023.
Following the Central Bank’s GH¢60.81 billion loss in the 2022 fiscal year, there has been increased pressure for the governor and his deputies to resign.
“The protest march is to call for the resignation of Governor Ernest Addison and his two deputies as a result of their gross mismanagement of the Central Bank which has occasioned an unprecedented loss of GHS60,8 billion and a negative equity of GHSS5.1 billion; illegal printing of over GHS80 billion and in the midst of this crisis, this reckless team is building a head office at the cost of over $250 million when the Public Procurement Authority initially recommended $81 million.”
“We wish to call on Ghanaians to remain resolute in the fight to protect our constitutional right to demonstrate and hereby assure them that the march to the Bank of Ghana He certainly take place on Tuesday 12th September 2023,” the statement further assured Ghanaians.
