Africa Daily - Why are people protesting in Ghana?
Download Why are people protesting in Ghana?
Last week, hundreds of protesters marched in Ghana’s capital, Accra. They called for the resignation of the governor of the Bank of Ghana over billions of Ghanaian cedis lost in the 2022 financial year.
The country is facing its worst economic hardship in over a generation with the high cost of living being driven by inflation of more than 40%.
It has stoked tensions which have led to protests in recent months. Last month, more than 50 protesters have been arrested in Ghana for defying a police order not to demonstrate.
So, what hope are protesters in Ghana hoping to provoke?
