#FixTheCountry movement has announced the arrest and detention of its activist Ralph St Williams, known widely as Fellow Ghanaians who admitted to breaking the gate of the facility hosting the national cathedral project to allow demonstrators of the 'Enough is Enough' protest to have access.
He was arrested at the Kotoka International Airport while en route to Kumasi for mobilization activities in preparation for Saturday's #SayNoToGalamsey protest, organized by Democracy Hub.
In a statement on its X platform, the movement reported that "It appears that Ralph's arrest stems from his peaceful participation in Tuesday’s 'Enough is Enough' demonstration, where he highlighted government mismanagement by opening the National Cathedral pit, a site that has already cost Ghana 58 million cedis, for symbolic swimming."
The movement further asserted that the arrest had been strategically timed to suppress his participation in the upcoming #SayNoToGalamsey protest and to intimidate activists fighting for transparency and environmental justice.
"We strongly condemn this act and demand Ralph’s immediate release. Furthermore, we insist on an official apology from the authorities for this blatant attempt to silence critical voices," it added.
According to the movement, it will petition the Inspector General of Police, Dr George Akuffo Dampare, to address this situation.
A viral video revealing the current state of the stalled National Cathedral project which began in 2020 surfaced on social media on Tuesday, September 17.
In the video shared by a Pro-NDC platform, there is the formation of a structure containing relatively small water. There were several individuals on the plot of land working. It is unknown what exactly they were engaged in.
Also, some protestors of the NDC 'Enough is Enough' demonstration decided to swim in what appears to be a pool.
Some X users have berated the government in response to the recent claims.
