The “Fixing the Country” movement, led by controversial pastor Isaac Owusu Bempah, has announced plans to organize demonstrations outside the residence of former President John Mahama.
This decision has generated controversy and concerns about potential tension and clashes. Critics have labeled the planned protests as useless and are urging the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to exercise caution and not grant permission for the demonstrations.
Critics argue that targeting a political figure’s residence may not effectively address the core issues the movement seeks to highlight.
Instead, they suggest that dialogue or demonstrations at relevant government institutions could be more effective in pushing for change.
Calls for caution from the IGP are growing, with concerns about the potential for protests to escalate into violence or disrupt public order.
Allowing the demonstrations at the former president’s house could set a precedent for similar actions in the future, according to some critics.
Advocates for peaceful engagement emphasize the importance of dialogue over confrontation.
They believe that engaging with relevant authorities, using appropriate channels to present grievances, and fostering a culture of constructive discourse can contribute more effectively to the “Fixing the Country” movement’s objectives.
Pastor Owusu Bempah has a history of controversial statements and actions and has been a polarizing figure in Ghanaian public discourse.
