New Patriotic Party (NPP) guru, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, has waded into the issues around the minority’s #OccupyBoGProtest.

Minority in Parliament fronted a protest on Tuesday, October 3, 2023. The protest was to compel the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Ernest Addison and his two deputies to resign.

The protest also sought to challenge Central Bank’s alleged illegal printing of about GH¢ 80 billion between 2021 and 2022 which contributed to an inflation rate of 54.1% in December 2022.

They minority claims the BOG have mismanaged the finances of the country, resulting in hyper-inflation and pushing thousands into poverty.

Commenting on the protest in a post on X (formerly twitter), Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, said the governor and his team should rather be commended for exhibiting the highest sense of duty and patriotism during in the midst of the economic crisis.

According to Gabby “We are too eager to over-wallow in negativism as a positive way of showing love for country”

Ghana is an interesting country. All across the world, the economic crisis of the last couple of years has seen central banks stepping in to do what is necessary, even if not orthodox, under a very difficult situation, to rescue national economies. Except in Ghana, where parliamentarians, including economists, lead a protest to bastardise a governor and his team who should rather be commended for exhibiting the highest sense of duty and patriotism.  We are too eager to over-wallow in negativism as a positive way of showing love for country!
