AriseGhana to Join Minority Caucus for #OcupyBOG Demo

Ghanaian pressure group, AriseGhana has announced that it will join the Minority Caucus's #OcupyBOG demonstration to force the Governor of the Bank of Ghana to resign. 


In a press statement released in the early hours of Monday, August 21, 2023, the pressure group argued that "after painstakingly studying the damning revelations contained in the 2022 Report and financial statements of the Bank of Ghana, we have come to the conclusion that the Central Bank is in the unprecedented mess it presently finds itself because of crass mismanagement by the Addison-led Board and management."

Again, they believed that the illegal printing of money to support the government after the gross mismanagement of the conomy is contrary to the Section 30 of the BOG Act (as amended), which is the height of irresponsibility and must be condemned by all well-meaning Ghanaians.

"It is sad to note, that despite the huge sums of monies (over GHS77 billion) that BOG has illegally printed for the corrupt Akufo-Addo/Bawumia/NPP government, the vast majority of suffering Ghanaians have not seen any improvements in their livelihoods", the statement further revealed. 


Touching in other pertinent records of mismanagement and unnecessary spending by the Bank of Ghana through its governor, AriseGhana has decided to join and hereby joins the call by the Minority Caucus in Parliament for the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, his deputies and Board of Directors to resign with immediate effect to save the central bank from further mismanagement and deterioration.

The Minority in Parliament has served notice to the Governor of the Bank of Ghana and his deputies to resign or they (Minority) will occupy the BoG in major protests and demonstrations. With few days to the expiry of the notice, AriseGhana has reaffirmed that failure for the governor and his deputies will compell the pressure group and its allies to join forces with the Minority and other progressive forces to demand their resignation through a series of public protests.
