Occupy Flagstaff group supports Labour's protest

The group behind the Occupy Flagstaff House demonstration and the #RedFriday campaign have voiced their support for the mass demonstration organised by the unions on Thursday, July 24, and have urged concerned Ghanaians to join the protest.
In a statement, the Executive Secretary of the Concerned Ghanaians for Responsible Governance group, Kojo Antwi, said the protest “affirms the numerous demands by CGRG to the present government to be fiscally responsible, monetarily wise” whilst focusing on “actions to bring the Ghanaian economy back on track and to aggressively pursue steps to punish non-performing, inept and corrupt officials.”
CCRG has urged people to wear red and “join the all-important fight for a Better Ghana”.
The group has however, cautioned all to exercise restraint and to “exhibit the utmost respect for the law and conduct a peaceful demonstration”.
Below is the full statement from the Concerned Ghanaians  for Responsible (CCRG)
FOCUS: IN SUPPORT OF TUC AND ORGANISED LABOUR LED 1-DAY NATIONWIDE PROTEST
GROUP: CONCERNED GHANAIANS FOR RESPONSIBLE GOVERNANCE (CGRG)
The Concerned Ghanaians for Responsible Governance (CGRG) is aware of an intended protest/strike action by the Organised Labour scheduled for Thursday, July 24, 2014.
The one-day national protest affirms the numerous demands by CGRG to the present government to be fiscally responsible, monetarily wise whilst focusing on timebound actions to bring the Ghanaian economy back on track and to aggressively pursue steps to punish non-performing, inept and corrupt officials.
Certainly Ghana deserves better than what we are currently experiencing.
CGRG is fully in support of the declaration by Organised Labour and urges all concerned Ghanaians to join the protest on Thursday, July 24, 2014. Let us come out in our numbers, clad in red, and join members of Organised Labour in this all-important fight for a Better Ghana. In doing so, let us exhibit the utmost respect for the law and conduct a peaceful demonstration.
We call on the Ghana Police Service to be professional and assist the protesters, by providing security on the day as it did during the Occupy Flagstaff House protest on July 1, 2014. We all have a role to play in ensuring that Ghana works again.
We stand up, we speak up and we protest because we love Ghana. Let us do this, for the love of Ghana. God Bless Our Homeland Ghana and Make Our Nation Great and Strong.
…SIGNED…
George Kojo Anti
Executive Secretary
