A
member
of
the
Fix
the
Country
movement,
under
the
auspices
of
Democracy
Hub,
has
been
arrested
at
Kotoka
International
Airport
(KIA).
Ralph
St.
Williams,
also
known
as
Fellow
Ghanaians,
was
arrested
while
en
route
to
Kumasi
in
the
Ashanti
Region
ahead
of
the
group’s
protest
on
Saturday.
The
convener
of
the
movement,
Oliver
Barker-Vormawor,
made
this
known
in
a
tweet
on
X
on
Thursday,
September
19.
Mr
Barker-Vormawor
believes
the
arrest
is
linked
to
Fellow
Ghanaians’
participation
in
the
“Enough
is
Enough”
demonstration
organised
by
the
opposition
National
Democratic
Congress
(NDC)
against
the
Electoral
Commission.
“It
appears
that
Ralph’s
arrest
stems
from
his
peaceful
participation
in
Tuesday’s
‘Enough
is
Enough’
demonstration,
where
he
highlighted
government
mismanagement
by
opening
the
National
Cathedral
pit,
a
site
that
has
already
cost
Ghana
58
million
cedis,
for
symbolic
swimming,”
portions
of
the
tweet
read.
A
viral
video
of
the
suspect
shows
him
tearing
down
some
posters
at
the
Cathedral
project
site
and
expressing
his
anger
over
the
misuse
of
public
funds.
