The purpose of the meeting, scheduled for Wednesday, May 15, 2024 at 1400 hours, is to talk about the specifics of the planned demonstration.
Concerns and rules for the planned demonstration—which aims to increase public awareness of the detrimental consequences of Ghana’s ongoing power supply challenges—will also be discussed at the conference.
