Background

Thousands of aggrieved Ghanaians participated in a much-popularised demonstration on Wednesday, August 4, 2021, under the hashtag #FixTheCountry.

The demonstrators, among other things, demanded a new constitution, accountability, good governance, and better living conditions from the ruling government.

The protesters wielded placards with varying inscriptions, including #FixOurEducation System now, a new constitution now, justice for Kaaka, and several others.

The #FixTheCountry protest was hugely successful as thousands of Ghanaians, including the youth and senior citizens, joined the march to pile pressure on the government to address the nation's numerous challenges such as youth unemployment, poor infrastructure, and high cost of living.
