Dr. Palgrave Boakye-Danquah cautions against Kenya-like protest in Ghana

Dr. Palgrave Boakye-Danquah, the government's spokesperson for security and administration, has advised Ghana not to emulate the bloody youth demonstration in Kenya that has claimed many lives.

According to Dr. Boakye-Danquah, the youth in Kenya could use a democratic way of registering their displeasure about the government rather than using violence to cause chaos in the country.

He further stressed that such activities should not be entertained in this era; hence, Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, should stop emulating the bloody youth demonstration in Kenya.

"I condemn the bloody demonstration in Kenya because we are in a democratic era, and we have several ways to ensure our grievances will be heard. It is not appropriate to use this approach. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa should not incite Ghanaians to follow what happened in Kenya," Dr. Boakye-Danquah told Accra-based Joy FM.

William Ruto was forced to rescind the financial measure that sought to impose certain taxes in the wake of widespread, violent protests that left at least 23 people dead.

However, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa asserted that President Akufo-Addo is the "chief architect" behind the controversial deal of selling SSNIT hotels to the Minister of Food and Agriculture and declared that it's time for Ghanaians to launch their own version of Kenya's recent protests.

Mr. Ablakwa urged Ghanaians to stay tuned for a major announcement soon regarding plans for a significant demonstration.

Dr. Palgrave Boakye-Danquah insisted that such protests are not necessary, even though the situation is not similar.
