Rasheeda Adams, organizer of the 2 million march march, announced that she had suspended their mega protest, scheduled for July 18, 2019.
According to Ms. Adams, the decision to stop the protest was due to the confidence of parliamentarians not to continue with the controversial $ 450 million chamber.
In a press release signed by the presenter, "the March 2 million push was attracted by Parliament's decision to suspend the $ 200 million new parliamentary enclave project." This decision was made as a result of pressure from Ghanaians. "
The statement further notes that "if Parliament tried to implement this project in the future, at a time that citizens would consider inappropriate, we will meet again to oppose and take a stand."
Ms. Rasheeda Adams instructed parliamentarians to look for solutions to improve living conditions.
"We would like to express our gratitude to all Ghanaians who responded to our call to lobby Parliament in the #DropThatChamber campaign, and your power and your voice have earned us this victory." Your support and courage are proof that Today's citizens are ready to hold leaders accountable, "the statement said.
The Ghanaian parliament was the subject of sharp criticism last week following the construction project of a new chamber estimated at $ 200 million.
Although MPs reacted mixedly, most Ghanaians opted for social media, with the hash tag indicating their dissatisfaction. This public appeal has prompted some leaders of youth groups to storm Parliament by shouting #DropThatChamber.
It is not clear, however, as it is increasingly apparent that Parliament is seeking to reconsider the decision to rebuild the House.
