Among the issues raised were unemployment, corruption, frequent power outages popularly referred to as 'dumsor,' illegal mining (galamsey), among others.
They appeared in red, gold, green, and black outfits while holding placards with inscriptions stating “Bribery is an insult to hard work”, “Bring back Nkrumah’s state farms”, “Dishonesty and lack of patriotism gave us Year of no return.”
The protestors were provided with security by the Ghana Police Service.
