Effutu PPP supporters demonstrate against difficult living conditions
Winneba (C/R) July 20, GNA - Supporters and
sympathizers of the Progressive Peoples Party
(PPP) in the Effutu Constituency, on Saturday
staged a three-hour demonstration against what
they described as “difficult living conditions
in the country, and irresponsible governance by
the NDC government”.

It was organized by the party executives in the
constituency under the theme: “Yerebre”
(meaning, We Are Suffering).

The demonstrators carried placards, the
inscriptions on some of which read: “Mr
President sack incompetent MMDCEs”,
“Yerewuoo”, (meaning, We Are Dying), “Stop
pair-trawling fishing”,” We want Election of
MMDCEs, “Reduce Utilities Tariffs' and “Pay
Get-Fund”.

The demonstrators started from the Shell Filling
Station through some principal streets of Winneba,
and ended at their party’s office under armed
police guard.

Addressing them later, the 2012 Parliamentary
Candidate of the party, Nana Owusu Offori,
appealed to government to set up a probe into the
activities of the Effutu Municipal Assembly.

He said, the fishing industry is collapsing, due
to the activities of pair-trawlers of foreign
vessels, thus leading to the destruction of
fishing nets of the fishermen.

Nana Offori said Ghanaians are suffering, and
therefore appealed to the NDC government that, as
a listening government as it claims, to listen to
the peoples’ cry, and put things in an orderly
manner to help alleviate their plight..
