Some 10 years ago, in 2014, a group of Ghanaians demonstrating against harsh economic conditions clashed with the Ghana Police Service.
Led largely by some members of the middle class, including Ace Kojo Ankomah, a legal practitioner; Yoofi Grant of Databank; Dr.
Esi Ansah, a lecturer at Ashesi University; Kofi Kapito, the Chief Executive Officer of the Consumer Protection Agency; Comfort Ocran of Legacy and Legacy; Ken Ofori-Atta, a co-founder of Databank; Selorm Branttie, the Communications Director of IMANI Ghana; and a former Chief Marketing Officer of MTN, George Andah, the July 4, 2014 protest dubbed Occupy Flagstaff House remains one of the cardinal days of reference for civil activism in Ghana.
For the protesters, their ultimate destination was the Flagstaff House, the seat of government.
