The Fix The Country protests, which began in March, have been gaining momentum
A social media campaign under the slogan “Fix The Country” has gained momentum in recent months.
President Nana Akufo-Addo’s government has introduced new taxes and increased fuel prices.
Some on the streets criticised the president’s decision to build a $200m (£143m) national cathedral – arguing that bigger priorities including education and housing needed to be addressed.
The protests started in March when a court dismissed an opposition challenge to Mr Akufo-Addo’s re-election in December.
