Managing Editor of the Insight, Mr Kwasi Pratt Jnr has said that organizers of the Kume Preko reloaded demonstration made fundamental error by choosing the black star square as the location.
The experienced demonstrator believes that, the group led by private legal Practitioner Martin Kpebu, also made a mistake by distancing the NDC from the demonstration.
Mr. Pratt made these statements on Political dialogue series organized by Media General on Wednesday November 8.
“The organizers of the Kume Preko reloaded made serious fundamental mistakes, they fell into traps,”.
According to Kwesi Pratt the numbers for the demonstration would have been massive if Mr Kpebu, had accepted that the NDC was part of it during his radio interactions.
Mr Pratt indicated that Kpebu should have answered that the demonstration was opened to all political parties including the NDC and the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Secondly, he said, the choice of the Black Star Square as the end point for the protest was wrong.
“You devalued the demonstration by choosing Black Stars Square,” he added.
That venue, he said, was too big therefore, it exposed the number of protestors who took part in the exercise thereby, devaluing it.
Mr Martin Kpebu after the demonstration asked President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta to resign immediately.
He accused the President of enriching himself and his family at the expense of the tax payer.
Addressing the crowd that attended the demonstration in Accra he said “we are calling on the trio thus, President Akufo-Addo, Vice President Bawumia and then Ken Ofori-Atta to resign immediately or less by Wednesday because as we all know, for every Cedi, for every Dollar that we borrow as a country President Akufo-Addo ‘s family gets richer through Ken Ofori-Atta.”
The protest was against the economic hardships in the country as well as the failure of the government to act to salvage the situation.
