Hundreds of protesters in Ghana’s capital, Accra, have called for the resignation of the governor of the Bank of Ghana and his two deputies over the loss of about sixty billion Ghanaian cedis in the 2022 financial year.
The demonstrators expressed their anger over the proposed use of more than two fifty million dollars for the construction of new headquarters for the central bank amidst the economic hardships faced by Ghanaians.
The West African country is facing its worst economic hardship in over a generation marred by soaring inflation of over 40%, a high cost of living crisis and huge public debt.
However, the government has introduced tough measures including increasing utility tariffs and taxes to boost domestic revenue.
