A group of young people stormed the premises of some public
institutions in Tema in the Greater Accra Region yesterday, to demand
the exit of appointees of the previous
government.
The
angry youth, clad in red, thronged the premises of TDC Ghana Ltd and
Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), Volta Aluminium Company Limited, (VALCO),
demanding the resignation
of top managers.
One of the aggrieved protestors, Kwame Dankwa, told journalists: “We do not want any appointee of the previous administration to remain in office” as they went about locking up some offices.
“‘As you can see we didn’t cause any commotion, we don’t have any problem with anybody, we came here to perform a task.
However, if we come back or get information that they are doing something different, that will be a different story,” Dankwa stated.
The
chaotic scenes resulted in an altercation between some workers of the
institutions visited and the youth, forcing some of the workers to
flee.
A timely deployment of police personnel from the Tema Regional Police Command prevented the physical assault on the workers.
