Arise Ghana has described as unfortunate the comment made by the governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Ernest Addison describing the recent #OccupyBoG protest as an act of hooliganism.
According to a convener of Arise Ghana, Rex Omar, the comment made by the governor was uncharitable and disparaging.
“Instead of concentrating on the reasons for which the protestors had to endure the unpleasant duty of marching to demand for his resignation, Dr Ernest Addison has been emboldened by unknown reasons to exhibit such belligerence and disrespect for the good people of Ghana,” he stated.
He said the demonstration which the governor described in the most unflattering words occurred as a result of the governor’s own incompetence and ineptitude.
“We wish to remind Dr Ernest Addison that he remains the most incompetent and inept Governor of the Bank of Ghana and the worst in the history of the Central Bank. The monumental losses accrued by the Bank coupled with its colossal negative equity position bears ample testimony,” he said.
He added that “Dr Ernest Addison’s comments cannot in any way sway us to depart from our quest to keep his feet to the fire of accountability until he does the needful by resigning to save the Bank from any further plummeting.
“His contribution to the collapse of the Ghanaian economy which has inflicted unimaginable suffering and hardship on the innocent Ghanaian cannot be taken lightly and he must not be allowed to superintend over the Central Bank anymore.”
Rex Omar assured the public that Arise Ghana will continue to liase with other civil society organizations, political parties and progressive forces to “explore all legitimate means to kick Dr Addison and his reckless syndicate out of the Bank of Ghana not as hooligans but as citizens.”
