Convenor for the PPP-led anti corruption march, Nii Allotey Brew-Hammond demanding among others, separation of the Attorney General from the Ministry of Justice as well as an independent legislature to enable the state effecively fight corruption.
The party is also calling for the election of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives as opposed to the current practise where they are appointed by the president.
