The group claims Mr Assenso Boakye has also denied them all financial assistance from President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

A member of the group, who spoke to Class News, said: “Mr Assenso is owing us and we are here for our money. We hear the government has given the money to him to give to us but he’s lying to us that he has paid the money to Mr Osono, but Mr Osono says he hasn’t received any money, so, we are demonstrating to collect our money.”
