‘Kum yen Preko’ demo: Akufo-Addo will taste his own dose – Sammy Gyamfi

The National Communications Director of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, says the upcoming ‘Kum yen Preko’ demo is meant to give President Akufo-Addo a taste of his own dose.

The NDC is set to stage a demonstration on July 2 against what the party describes as "hardship and insecurity" in the country.

Sammy Gyamfi believes the protest is a replication of Nana Addo’s own demonstration he led in 1995 against the Rawlings government.

Speaking on Adom TV’s Badwam show, he said the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has disappointed Ghanaians since assuming office.

Electoral violence is fast becoming a dangerous stain on Ghana’s democratic record. Once seen as isolated incidents, violent disruptions are now a recurring feature of our elections. The question remains: how do we confront this growing canker before it weakens our democracy beyond repair?

“Nana Addo instituted ‘Kum yen Preko’ and we are going to protest the same way under the same oppression and hardships under which he led protesters in 1995 when former President Rawlings wanted to implement the Value Added Tax in Ghana,” he said.

The NDC Communications Director added that the demonstration is inspired by the “unfulfilled” promises by the Akufo-Addo government.

According to him, the NPP lied its way into power, describing their promises as “419”.

“We had so much hope in the Akufo-Addo administration to transform Ghana after they made all those campaign promises in 2016 but it seems all these promises have become 419,” Sammy Gyamfi added.
