#FixTheCountry campaigners have hit thestreets  of Accra today, to demand that government addresses the many economic and social challenges facing the country.

As of 6 am, some participants had already stormed the ‘Obra Spot’ near the Kwame Nkrumah interchange to commence the march.

The protestors clad in red, gold, green and black outfits, held placards with inscriptions such as, “Stop the cathedral and use the proceeds to build hospitals, schools, roads and comfortable houses for the Police”, “Ghanaians deserve better.”

In the last few months, Ghanaian youth have taken to social media to demand accountability, good governance, and better living conditions from government. 

The FixTheCountry advocacy, which began in May, has garnered huge support since campaigners, largely the youth, started highlighting some of the inadequacies in the country.

In its response to the aggrieved youth, government outlined initiatives it has implemented, including the Nation Builders’ Corp (NABCO), National Youth Entrepreneurship and Innovation Plan (NEIP) to build the human capital in the country.

But the protestors say the impact of these initiatives has not been felt on the ground.

Earlier attempts by the campaigners to embark on a street protest were foiled by the Police through a court action but the campaign continued unabated online.

Subsequently, the court dismissed the injunction, explaining that the application is moot because, May 9, the date for the protest, which the Police did not agree to, has long elapsed.

The Conveners of the campaign then finalised details and scheduled the first protest march for August 4, 2021 which came off today.

Today’s Founders they is really a day to be remembered as Ghanaians demonstrate for the Good of the country on a day that the Founders of this land are been celebrated.

Ghanaians have spoken but will they be heard? Only time will tell.
