The New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Youth Organiser, Abanga Yakubu Fusani, has announced plans to organise a demonstration dubbed “Yɛgye Yɛ Sika” to demand accountability and draw attention to economic concerns affecting Ghanaians.

The planned protest is expected to focus on issues including the cost of living, employment opportunities, cocoa producer prices, public spending and the government’s proposed 24-hour economy policy.

Fusani announced the planned demonstration in a statement shared on Facebook, raising questions about the management of public funds and calling on government officials to address concerns he outlined.

The proposed protest adds to the public debate over economic conditions and the need for transparency and accountability in the management of the country’s resources.

NPP Youth Organiser Demands Accountability

In his statement, Fusani called on Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa and Sports Minister Kofi Adams to respond to concerns he raised about public funds.

He used the phrase “bring our money” to emphasise his demand for accountability.

However, the issues raised by the youth organiser should be considered as demands and claims requiring appropriate responses and supporting evidence. Any specific allegations of wrongdoing would need to be established through credible evidence.

The planned demonstration is intended to bring these concerns to public attention and press the relevant authorities to provide answers.

Cocoa Producer Price Draws Attention

Cocoa prices have also emerged as a major issue in the youth organiser’s statement.

Fusani questioned the amount being paid to cocoa farmers, referring to figures of GH¢2,600 and GH¢3,100 per bag.

According to reports by Starr FM, the announced producer price for the 2026/2027 cocoa season was GH¢2,650 per 64-kilogramme bag.

The figures cited in the debate highlight the importance of clarifying the official producer price and the basis of the amounts being discussed.

For cocoa farmers, producer prices directly affect the income they receive for their harvests. The issue remains significant for farming communities that depend on cocoa production to support their households and businesses.

24-Hour Economy and Youth Employment

Fusani also raised concerns about the government’s proposed 24-hour economy policy and the employment opportunities available to young people.

The policy is intended to encourage economic activities beyond conventional working hours, with the broader aim of supporting business growth and job creation.

The youth organiser questioned its implementation and highlighted concerns about unemployment, fuel prices, hostel fees and access to capital for businesses.

He also criticised the 20% VAT on digital services, arguing that the tax places additional pressure on people who depend on digital platforms and online activities to earn a living.

These issues are likely to feature prominently in the NPP youth wing’s demands as it prepares for the proposed demonstration.

Date and Venue Yet to Be Announced

Although Fusani has announced plans for the “Yɛgye Yɛ Sika” demonstration, a specific date, venue and route had not been confirmed in the reports available as of October 21, 2026.

Further information from the organisers will be needed to establish when and where the protest will take place.

The demonstration is expected to provide an opportunity for the NPP youth wing to express its concerns over economic conditions and demand responses from the relevant authorities.

The planned “Yɛgye Yɛ Sika” demonstration is set to place economic hardship, public accountability, cocoa prices and youth employment back in the spotlight.

Abanga Yakubu Fusani says the protest will be used to press for answers on issues he believes require urgent attention.

As preparations continue, the public will be watching for details of the demonstration and any responses from the government and the officials mentioned in his statement.

Ultimately, the concerns raised will require clear explanations, verifiable information and practical measures to address the economic challenges facing Ghanaians.
