Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has recognized the validity of the demands presented by the #OccupyJulorbiHouse protesters, noting that their concerns cannot be disregarded.

The recently elected flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) affirmed that the government is actively considering these matters and has been dedicated to addressing them.

In his victory speech on Saturday, November 4, Dr. Bawumia urged the youth to work in partnership with the government to alleviate the challenges faced by the people of Ghana.

“While on the campaign, I became aware of a 3-day demonstration staged by the young people of our country. They had a simple message for the political class: they needed more opportunities for work, they needed improved living conditions, and they wanted improved public services. These are legitimate demands and we cannot ignore them. We will continue to work hard for the people of Ghana.”

"I have spent the last seven years working alongside the President to fulfill many of these demands, including creating opportunities for the youth, improving the well-being of our people, expanding access to secondary education and healthcare, enhancing the country's road infrastructure, streamlining access to public services, and leveraging technology for development."

The #OccupyJulorbiHouse protest occurred from Thursday, September 21 to Saturday, September 23, 2023, as demonstrators voiced their concerns about various issues in the country.

The protesters specifically expressed their discontent with the government's economic policies and raised allegations of corruption. During the protests, over 50 of their members were apprehended by the police.

The incident incited public anger as many Ghanaians criticized the police for employing excessive force against unarmed civilians.
