This week, some members of the Pensioner Bondholders Forum began picketing the Finance Ministry to demand a total exemption of their investments from the Domestic Debt Exchange programme.

On Friday, the former Chief Justice of Ghana, Sophia Akuffo joined those picketing at the Finance Ministry.

Before then on Wednesday, February 8, Deputy Finance Minister, Madam Abena Osei Asare disclosed in an interview on CitiFM that government had achieved more than 50% participation out of 80% of its target for the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP).

Now, the question is: will government be able to procure the 80% approval amid these increasing protests against the controversial debt exchange programme?
