FixTheCountry Movement to Demonstrate Over 2022 Budget on Nov. 26

The convenors of the #FixTheCountry Movement say they will demonstrate on November 26, to register their dissatisfaction with the 2022 Budget.

In a statement on Friday, the convenors said they have already notified the Ghana Police Service about their intentions and are ready to pour unto the streets to express their disgust.

According to leaders of the social advocacy group, certain aspects of the Budget are inherently “ridiculous”, hence their decision to resent it.

They further said the 2022 Budget smacks of “purposeful deceit” and “the absence of truth and genuine accountability”, a situation the convenors say they will not tolerate.

They are, therefore, imploring the 275 MPs to outrightly reject the 2022 Budget estimates, which were tabled before Parliament on November 17.

“The protest is to register our displeasure at the ridiculous proposals of the 2022 Budget and demand Parliament not to approve the Budget in its current form,” the statement said.

The protest is expected to begin from the Tema Station in Accra, near the National Hockey Stadium, after which the protestors will head to the front of the Parliament House.

Members of the #FixTheCountry Movement are also craving the indulgence of all well-meaning individuals and the media to rally behind their intended demonstration and accord them the needed support.
