Dozens have converged on the Obra Spot near the Kwame Nkrumah Circle Interchange in Accra to stage the highly publicised massive demonstration dubbed #FixTheCountry.
 
The street protest has been long in coming as an earlier intention to embark on the action resulted in a legal battle between the Accra Regional Police Command and the conveners.

The Accra High Court presided over by Justice Ruby Aryeetey on Friday, June 25 quashed the police’s injunction and ruled that the conveners could demonstrate but with express permission from the police.

The two parties, then, settled on Wednesday, August 4.

In between then and now, the Youth Wing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) also embarked on a demonstration dubbed ‘March For Justice’ on Tuesday, July 6 to demand justice for victims of police-military brutalities.

The demonstration on Founders’ Day is expected to end at Black Stars Square in Accra. 

More coming soon...
