“Anytime we go to them, they say, we should come back at the end of the month so there is no money. That’s been going on for some five months now,” one of the demonstrators told Joy News.
According to them, they have sent a petition to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II. He has met with the officials of the Bank of Ghana to discuss the issue, they claim.
The demonstrators also say they are appealing to the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, to come to their aid.
