FixTheCountry Announces “We Taya Demo”
Following the unrest in Kenya over the introduction of more tax policies, pressure group FixTheCountry has put out a flyer announcing a nationwide protest against the economic hardship in Ghana.
They say the protest will last for three days beginning on September 21 and ending on September 24.
It is bannered “We Taya Demonstration”.
This comes only a day after youths in Kenya registered their displeasure at the passage of some financial tax bills in their budget.
The youth clashed with police and overpowered them to make their way into the parliament compound where a portion was torched, Reuters reported on Tuesday, June 25, 2024.
At least five were reported to have been killed by police with several others wounded. Reports say some of Kenya’s health facilities are overwhelmed.
President William Ruto addressed the country on Tuesday calling the protest an attack on democracy and vowing to provide the needed response to the hijacking by “dangerous people”.
“We shall provide a full, effective and expeditious response to today’s treasonous events.”
It was inconceivable that “criminals pretending to be peaceful protesters can reign terror against the people, their elected representatives and the institutions established under our constitution and expect to go scot-free,” Ruto added.
