On September 1, 2023, lawyers representing the Minority in Parliament submitted an affidavit at the High Court in Accra, contesting the police's application to prohibit their planned picketing in front of the Bank of Ghana (BoG).
The Minority intended to march through key streets and the Bank of Ghana's premises, demanding the resignation of the central bank's Governor and his deputies, alleging mismanagement of the institution.
Following a meeting with the police, the Minority was advised to alter their planned routes, a suggestion they rejected. Consequently, the police filed an application seeking to halt the protest, prompting the Minority to respond with a counter-affidavit.
The court is scheduled to hear the application on Monday, September 4, 2023, while the protest is set for September 5.
In a statement, the Minority explained, "Lawyers for the Minority in Parliament yesterday filed with the registry of the High Court in Accra, an affidavit in opposition to the ill-advised and unfortunate application by the Accra Regional Police for an Order to prohibit our upcoming #OccupyBoGProtest march slated for Tuesday, 5th September 2023."
They further stated, "The Minority in collaboration with Arise Ghana, other Civil Society Organisations, and well-meaning Ghanaians are resolved to embark on this historic protest march to demand the immediate resignation of the Governor of the Bank of Ghana and his two Deputies, for superintending a colossal loss of GHS66.8 billion in 2022 alone, which has occasioned a Negative Equity of GHS55.1 billion, as well as other acts of financial malfeasance that have completely destroyed the Central Bank."
The Minority and allied progressive groups affirmed their commitment to their cause, vowing not to relent until the Governor, his deputies, and the Board of Directors resigned.
Their message was clear: "The Minority group and other progressive forces remain focused and will not relent until Misgovernor Addison, his complicit Deputies, and pliant Board of Directors resign. Aluta continua Victoria aserta!"
