The Minority Caucus in Parliament has confirmed its readiness to proceed with its planned protest against the Bank of Ghana's governor and his two deputies.

Scheduled for Tuesday, October 3, the Caucus intends to march to the Central Bank's headquarters to demand the resignation of the governor and deputies. This protest comes in response to the Bank's reported GH¢60.81 billion loss in the 2022 fiscal year and the allocation of over $250 million for the construction of a new headquarters.

Mahama Ayariga, the Member of Parliament for Bawku Central, affirmed that the Caucus has conducted extensive consultations and is fully prepared for the protest on Tuesday. He also noted that the Regional Police Command has granted permission for the protest march to proceed. The Caucus appears resolute in its determination to continue protesting until the governor and his deputies step down from their positions.

“We have been working on this, and we have been holding community sensitisation programmes across the Greater Accra Region, and we are ready for the planned protest on Tuesday. We have been well received in all the communities that we have gone to, and they are preparing to participate in the protest. We will continue to protest until the governor and his deputies leave office until we have a clean sheet at the Central Bank so that new leadership can be put in place to spearhead the process of restoring the integrity of the Central Bank.”

“We held meetings with the Regional Police Command and agreed on the route, the time, and they are ready to be there to provide whatever assistance.”
