AFAG hits the streets again in Aagbewɔ Demo slated for Thursday, November 6, 2014. myjoyonline/politics/2014/October-28th/afag-hits-the-streets-again-in-agbewo-demo.php Pressure Group Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG) will hit the streets in Accra next week in a demonstration they have christened aagbewo meaning they are killing us. At a news conference in Accra, leader of the group, Dr. Nana Ayew Afriyie said the demonstration is premised on the widespread corruption and unbearable hardships that have been inflicted on Ghanaians. The demonstration is slated for Thursday, November 6, 2014. According to him, the cost of the ongoing construction work at Circle in Accra has been inflated by several millions of euros. Dr Afriyie minced no words in describing president John Mahama as an opportunistic leader whose indecision is gravely affecting Ghanaians. It is the belief of this group that we have an opportunistic government in office. We are fighting against incompetence. We are fighting against the lack of transparency and indecision. ...You and myself have been deprived of the resources that belong to the common goal, he stated. The National Petroleum Authority only last week announced a two per cent reduction in petroleum products but AFAG is unimpressed. Dr Afriyie described the reduction as an insult to Ghanaians. This is not the first time AFAG has gone on demonstration. Since 2009, the group has embarked on a series of demonstrations in protest over hardships in the country.
