The Fixing The Country Movement has announced the cancellation of its scheduled protest outside former President John Mahama’s Labone office.
In a press statement released by the Convener, Ernest Owusu Bempah on Tuesday, November 21, the group revealed that the decision to call off the picketing was based on a directive from the National Security Ministry.
The movement, while apologizing to its members for the change in plans, assured them that they remain committed to ensuring that the Office of the Special Prosecutor investigates Mr Mahama over the Airbus Scandal.
“The Fixing the Country Movement wishes to inform the general public that due to a formal order by the Ministry of National Security, the planned demonstration and picketing at the Cantonments office of former President John Mahama scheduled for Thursday, November 23, has been called off.”
“National Security informed our leadership of a perceived security considerations that necessitated their request and we have subsequently suspended the demonstration indefinitely.”
On October 16, 2023, Fixing the Country Movement had notified the police of their intention to exercise their constitutional rights under Article 21(1)(d) and (f) of the 1992 Constitution to picket at the office of the former President.
The group subsequently rescheduled the event to Thursday, November 16, and again to Thursday, November 23.
According to the convener, the planned protest was intended to reflect the group’s antipathy towards the laid-back attitude of authorities investigating the Airbus corruption saga.
They stressed that Mr Mahama has a lot of questions to answer and the scandal cannot be swept under the rug.
