POSTPONEMENT OF YENTUA DEMO BY THE ALLIANCE FOR RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS

26th October, 2017

The leadership of the Alliance For Responsible Citizens (AFRC) would like to inform the Public that it's "YENTUA DEMO" which was slated for today, 26th October 2017, has been postponed to Monday 6th November 2017. In addition to the new date, a new route has been agreed upon to include, the National offices of the National Communications Authority (NCA), the National Media Commission (NMC),  the Ghana Journalist Association (GJA) and Ghana Independent Broadcasters Association (GIBA) among others.

The postponement has been occasioned by the unnecessary  interference of the Greater Accra Regional Police Command in our organizational plans and activities. We condemn the palpable attempt by some elements of the Ghana Police force and the Akufo-Addo administration at scuttling and preventing this demonstration.

Their shameful behavior convinces us that, the much touted human rights credentials of President Akufo-Addo is nothing but a mere political rhetoric. And it has reinforced our belief that the Akufo-Addo administration is bent on stifling free speech, press freedoms and the fundamental human rights of the citizenry.

More than ever, we are fortified in our resolve to resist the oppressive rule and unconstitutional acts of sub-standard NPP government operatives like Ursula Owusu and Joseph Anokye.

We shall continue to fight for the total revocation of the  unconstitutional penalties which have been slapped on 131 radio stations by the NCA under the direction of these government officials.

We call on all our members to remain calm.

We would like to assure you, that no amount to intimidation can stop us from embarking on our "YENTUA DEMO" on 6th November 2017.

We also call on the all progressive forces and the general public to come out in your numbers on Monday the 6th of November 2017 and join us in this struggle.

Thank you.

Signed
Francis Ansah tawiah

Chiefs and people in towns such as; Nyinahini, Nkawie, Mpasaaso in the Ashanti Region, have vowed to resist any attempt by the Akufo-Addo government to stop Exotic Cubic from mining bauxite in the area.

The chiefs are unhappy with the government; they insist, if the Kibi and Awaso in the Eastern and Western regions, can have their Bauxites being mined, the people of Nyinahini in the Ashanti Region, also want to see and feel the benefits of a bauxite mine in their locality. “Bauxite is being mined in areas such as Awaso, Kibi, if it is also done in the Ashanti Region, won’t it be good, don’t we also deserve it as well” the chiefs rhetorically questioned the Akufo-Addo government. They openly told President Akufo-Addo, what is good for Kibi his hometown, is equally good for the people of Nyinahini in the Ashanti Region. Government led by Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, wants to give the Nyinahini concession to Chinese for US$15 billion, but the chiefs, prefer Exton Cubic, and are demanding that government immediately allows the company linked to businessman, Ibrahim Mahama of Engineers and Planners (E&P) to mine bauxite in the area.
