Members of the Economic Fighter’s League and the #FixTheCountry Movement as well as some Ghanaians, will today, Friday, 26 November 2021 march to parliament in a move to compel the house to reject the 2022 budget.

The demonstration is to express their grievances about the introduction of new taxes, especially the e-levy, in the 2022 budget.

The e-levy, which is a 1.75 per cent tax on all e-transactions which include banking and mobile money transactions has infuriated Ghanaians who are kicking against its implementation.  

The Accra Regional Police Command says it has made adequate security arrangements for the demonstration.

The demonstrators will assemble at the Tema Station near the Hockey Pitch and move through the Accra Technical University toward the Trade Union Congress traffic light, through Cedi House, National Theatre traffic light to the AU Roundabout and finally end at the parliament house.

Taking into account the traffic situation, personnel from the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD), according to the police, will be present to ensure the free flow of traffic.

The police also noted that it is resolute to collaborate with the demonstrators toward a peaceful demonstration.

The organisers and demonstrators have been entreated to observe all COVID-19 protocols and cooperate with the police for a successful event.
