Organised Labour in Ho is asking the
president, John Dramani Mahama, to
step down following the inability of
his administration to tackle present
economic challenges.
The workers are demonstrating
against economic challenges workers
and Ghanaians as a whole are facing
currently.
Organised Labour has said
Thursday’s demonstration is inspired
by the current hikes in petroleum
prices, the fall of the Ghana’s cedi
against major trading currencies and
high cost of living.
Joy News’ Volta regional
correspondent Ivy Setordzie reported
that the demonstrators, drawn from
various labour unions, converged at
the Civic Centre in Ho around 6am.
She reported that the Ghana Police
Service mobilized about 200 men and
women to provide security for the
protesters.
Some of the placards the
demonstrators held urged the
president to resign while others also
urged him to “use oil revenue to
provide more infrastructure."
Ivy Setordzie also reported that
demonstrators will meet the Volta
regional Minister, Helen Ntoso to
present their petition.
