Talking about the hardship in Ghana is almost a cliché by this point it feels like beating a dead horse. Yet a group of Ghanaians living in the USA, Ghanaians Against Bad Governance, have announced a protest for next Wednesday July 23.

The group, who describe themselves as a ‘non-partisan’, say they are interested in the economic and social well being of the people of Ghana.

Ghanaians yesterday had to re-adjust to an increase in petroleum prices, and consequently transport fares, as the economic deterioration showed no signs of abating.

The protest is slated for the Ghanaian embassy in Washington and is set to kick off at 0900 local time and would conclude with the presentation of a petition intended to be forwarded to the Government of Ghana.
