Hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets of Accra Tuesday in protest of what they said were unbearable hardships Ghanaians are enduring under president John Mills. Christened “Ahokyere demo” and organized by the Young Patriots, a youth wing of the opposition New Patriotic Party the demonstrators cite rising cost of living, perennial shortage of gas and what they said is the mismanagement of the Tema Oil Refinery. Joy News’ Annie Osabutey described the turn out as massive. The demonstration started at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle with the protestors expected to send a petition to the president at the Osu Castle, the seat of government. Former Greater Accra Regional Minister, Sheik IC Quaye, a member of the Communications team of the Nana Akufo-Addo campaign team, Samuel Awuku were part of the demonstration. Leaders of the demonstration, John Kumah, Richard Nyamaa and Titus Glover led the hundreds of chanting protestors who brandished placards with inscriptions like “Atta go kill us”, “We need LPG”, "Where is the oil revenue?" and a host of others. The protestors are also calling for the resignation of Mr. Ato Ahwoi, Board Chairman of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation and Alex Mould Chief, Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority both of whom they claim have been inefficient in the management of LPG in the country. The protestors had planned to present the petition to the president at the Castle but were prevented by the police. They later converged at the Arts Centre in Accra where Titus Glover one of the leaders of the demonstration read in detail the petition to the media. The demonstraters refused to hand over a copy of petition to presidential aide, Nii Lantey Vanderpuiye claiming he was not suitable to accept their petition on behalf of the president. Titus Glover in the petition accused President John Mills of turning a blind eye to allegations of corruption against his officials. He cited, among others, 1.6 million cedis alleged to have been misappropriated by Stan Dogbe, one of the presidential aides and called for investigations into them.
