BoG Governor, Dr. Ernest Addison
Civil society group, AriseGhana, has condemned the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Ernest Addison, for describing the protestors who demanded his resignation as 'hooligans' and 'irresponsible' people.
The group, in a statement released on October 8, 2023 and signed by its Convenor, Rex Omar, said that Dr Addison's comments were 'uncharitable' and 'disparaging' to the Ghanaians who marched peacefully to express their dissatisfaction with his performance.
AriseGhana, which organized the #OccupyBoG protest on Tuesday October 3, accused Dr. Addison of being incompetent and inept Governor.
The group further claimed that Dr. Addison had contributed to the collapse of the Ghanaian economy and inflicted unimaginable suffering and hardship on the people.
Arise Ghana, in conclusion said it will not be swayed by such comments and vowed to continue to pressure Dr. Addison to resign and save the apex Bank from further plummeting.
It said that it would collaborate with other civil society organizations, political parties and progressive forces to explore all legitimate means to remove Dr. Addison and his “reckless syndicate” from their positions in the Bank of Ghana.
