NPP Supporters Gather at Tetteh Quarshie Roundabout for ‘Ye Gye Ye Sika’ Protest

Supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have gathered at the Tetteh Quarshie Roundabout in Accra for the party’s planned “Ye Gye Ye Sika” protest, demanding transparency over funds allocated for the evacuation of Ghanaians from South Africa.

The demonstrators are calling on the government to provide a full account of the money reportedly spent on the evacuation exercise, insisting that Ghanaians deserve clear information about how public funds were used.

The protest comes amid controversy surrounding the reported GH¢49 million expenditure on the evacuation of Ghanaian nationals from South Africa. The issue has attracted political attention, with members of the NPP Minority raising questions about the amount and demanding explanations from the government.

The demonstrators are using the protest to reinforce calls for accountability and greater transparency in the management of public resources. Their demand centres on the release of a detailed breakdown of the funds, including how the money was disbursed and the specific expenses covered by the evacuation exercise.

The “Ye Gye Ye Sika” slogan, which translates to “We have taken our money”, reflects the protesters’ concerns about the handling of the reported expenditure.

The gathering at the Tetteh Quarshie Roundabout marks the start of the demonstration, with the protesters seeking answers from the authorities over the controversial spending.

The government and the Foreign Affairs Ministry have faced growing scrutiny over the matter, although the allegations surrounding the expenditure remain subject to clarification.

The protest adds to the political pressure on the government to account for the reported evacuation funds and address concerns raised by the opposition.
