#FixTheCountry campaigners hit the streets of Accra on Wednesday, August 4, 2021 to demand that government addresses the many economic and social challenges facing the country.
As of 6:00am, some participants had already stormed the ‘Obra Spot’ near the Kwame Nkrumah interchange to commence the march which was climaxed at the Black Star Square in Accra.
