Accra, June 18, GNA – Arise Ghana, as part of its June 28th and 29th demonstration is paying courtesy calls on some senior citizens in the country.
The Leadership of Arise Ghana paid a courtesy call on Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, a leading member of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) at his residence in Accra.
A statement jointly signed by Mr Listowel Nana Poku, an NPP Member and a Leading Member of Arise Ghana, and Mr Mensah Thompson, Executive Director, ASEPA and a Leading Member of Arise Ghana, copied to the Ghana News Agency said the aim of the visit was to officially inform Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe of the objectives of the group and to formally invite him to attend their impending demonstration.
It said Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe on his part welcomed the group and counseled them to see the course they had chosen as service to the people and nothing more.
It noted that he admonished them to be people of integrity and to remain resolute and united in the pursuit of the objectives of the group.
The statement said above all, the Senior Citizen and Statesman assured Arise Ghana of his unflinching support and his presence at our upcoming demonstration scheduled for the 28th and June 29, 2022.
The statement said the purpose of this Arise Ghana demonstration is to protest persistent and astronomical hikes in fuel prices by the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government that has imposed excruciating economic hardships on Ghanaians.
Arise Ghana seeks to protest the imposition of the obnoxious E-Levy on the already-burdened Ghanaian people by the insensitive Akufo-Addo/Bawumia Government and demand a full scale and bi-partisan parliamentary probe into COVID-19 expenditures.
It said the Group was also protesting the alleged grabbing of State lands by officials of the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia Government, particularly the de-classification of huge portions of the Achimota Forest reserve.
