However, the situation has been different these past few years, with the situation getting dire in 2022. There have been a number of demonstrations across the country with many Ghanaians protesting the hardships in the country.

The recent demonstration was one undertaken by a focus group, Arise Ghana which according to reports, resulted in chaos after Police fired tear gas at protesters on the afternoon of Tuesday, June 28, 2022.

According to the statement issued by Arise Ghana, the protests are against the following six issues that have come to the fore of national discourse in the last few months.

• The persistent and astronomical fuel price hikes under the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government have imposed excruciating economic hardships on Ghanaians;
• The imposition of the obnoxious E-Levy on the already-burdened Ghanaian people by the insensitive Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government and demand for its immediate repeal;
• The protest will demand a full-scale and bi-partisan parliamentary probe into COVID-19 expenditures;
• To protest against the grabbing of State lands by officials of the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government, particularly the de-classification of huge portions of the Achimota Forest reserve
• To protest against the increased rate of police brutalities and state-sponsored killing of innocent Ghanaians, as well as the growing culture of human rights abuses under President Akufo-Addo and Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia;
• To demand the total cancellation of the fraudulent “Agyapa” deal.

He threatened to use a gong gong, a traditional tool which was used in making announcements in the past. He also added that he would also opt for a megaphone if he loses his Twitter account in a Twitter banter with former president John Dramani Mahama’s advisor Joyce Bawah Mogtari.
