We were not violent during Occupy Flagstaff House protest - Golda Addo

Gender Activist, Golda Addo who was part of the 2014 Occupy Flagstaff House protest says she couldn’t understand why the police came at them in arms as they group was not violent during the demonstration.

She said, “instead of coming with the police or whatever to interact because that was what we were trying to do, they came with anti-mob equipment which looked very harmful and lethal and I got soo upset and decided that well they should do with me what they want”.

She said she sat in the middle of the road and was joined by others as they waited to see what the police was going to do to them.

Golda Addo who was recalling events that unfolded during the protest said she expects the new government to take up the issues they complained about during the protest four years ago.

“We hope that by the end of the four years we would have seen that there are indeed lots of steps that have been taken to make sure that things much better”, she said.

Occupy Flagstaff House was a protest by a group calling itself Concerned Ghanaians for Responsible Governance (CGRG) to petition the Mahama-led administration on the economic hardships in the country.
