Nation Democratic Congress (NDC) has petitioned President Akufo-Addo to immediately implement Justice Emile Short-led Commission Report on Ayawaso West Wuogon violence as they decorated Accra red to express their concerns over the president’s poor showing in government in critical sectors.
Clad in red, the NDC hits the streets of Accra today over insecurity, military, police brutalities of civilians, injustice, hardships, culture of silence and unemployment including the death of Ibrahim Mohammed, Kaaka, two others with two who were injured amid chaotic scenes at Ejura and WA
First to address the protestors was General Secretary John Asiedu Nketia, National Organiser George Opare Addo, and others demanding immediate implementation of Justice Emile Short Commission Report, payment of compensation for victims of military, police brutalities, fixing unemployment and other burning issues facing the country.
Known as “A March for Justice” the protestors commenced the massive demonstration attended by NDC MPs, stalwarts, rank and file of the party, at Mall to Jubilee House-presidency, spanning over four hours and ended at Parliament during which petition was presented to Minority Leader- Haruna Iddrisu and Majority Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu.
At parliament, the disgruntled protestors clashed with the police over Covid-19 safety protocol breaches but calm was restored.
