Democracy Hub has announced plans to hold a three-day demonstration from September 21-23 at Revolution Square, located across Liberation Road, opposite Jubilee House. The protest will begin each day at 6 am.
In a press statement released on Monday, July 15, Democracy Hub confirmed in a statement released on Monday, July 15 that it has formally notified the Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, in compliance with the Public Order Act.
This notification ensures that the demonstration will proceed with the required legal backing.
The protest is to address critical issues affecting the country, including socio-economic injustice, unemployment, and rising poverty. Additionally, it will focus on concerns about state capture, nepotism, and corruption, with a particular emphasis on the need for judicial independence.
Democracy Hub believes that addressing these issues is crucial for the betterment of the nation and its citizens.
“Democracy Hub, the Convenor of the #FixTheCountry movement and #OccupyJulorbiHouse protests, wishes to notify the public and media outlets of our upcoming peaceful protest under the theme ‘A New Constitution for a New Generation,’” the statement read.
“The protest will begin at 6:00 AM on September 21 and conclude at 11:59 PM on September 23, 2024, and is scheduled to take place at Revolutionary Square across Liberation Road, opposite Jubilee House. Democracy Hub has formally notified the Inspector General of Police in accordance with the Public Order Act.
“Purpose of the Protest: This demonstration is organized to address several critical issues plaguing Ghanaian society, with a particular focus on socio-economic injustice, lack of jobs, rising poverty, state capture, nepotism, corruption, and the need for judicial independence,” the statement continued.
In September 2023, Democracy Hub organized a similar protest, dubbed #OccupyJulorbiHouse, which led to the arrest of some members by the police.
