Pro Afoko demonstrators rented; given Ghc50 each

A substantial number of people who turned up at this morning’s planned demonstration at the Party Headquarters of the opposition New Patriotic Party in support of suspended National Chairman Paul Afoko were bused.

The demonstrators were rented from different parts of the capital, Accra, to represent a decent face, Kasapa FM has learnt.

The rented crowd were also promised some 50 cedis each as compensation for their time and stress.

Kasapa FM’s Kwaku Opare reports from the International Press Centre that while a good number have since received their funds, others are yet to get paid.

A demonstration that has been met with several interpretations is coming hours after an attempt in court by persons fighting for the ousted Chairman, suffered a jolt.
