The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Professional Forum has called on the government to fix the enormous challenges confronting the country.
It mentioned some of the challenges such as unemployment, insecurity, irregular supply of electricity and economic hardships which were impacting on the lives of Ghanaians.
This was contained in a statement issued and signed by Dr S. Koma Jehu-Appiah of the Forum.
It urged the government not to trivialise the call to fix the country's economy and related challenges but to address those concerns.
Demonstration
The statement said the Forum associated itself with the concerns of some youths in the country in exercising their constitutional rights to demonstrate to bring their demands to the attention of the powers that be.
It alleged that the government was behind the frustration of the youth to demonstrate to draw attention to the ills they had observed in society.
The forum said it supported the “Fix the Country” demonstration march with the COVID-19 pandemic protocols in place.
Injunction
The police last week secured an injunction against the conveners of the demonstration who wanted to draw attention to some issues affecting them.
The reason, among others, was that some safety protocols against the COVID-19 pandemic could be breached with its attendant health implications.

I am in a fix as to what the NDC wants to be fixed in this country. Before the sweariing in of the Akufo Addo's first term we had the unemployed graduates association. Today many of these people have been rolled on the NABCO programme and are receiving salaries. The Mahama government applied for the IMF bailout and one of the conditionalities was a freeze on publuc sector employment. Today a backlog of unemployed Teachers and Nurses from the year 2012 to 2020 have been employed. The over 1.2 million students who have/are enjoying the Free SHS, I guess is not Fixing the country. The over 100 1D1F factories commissioned and employing young Ghanaians I guess is not fixing the country The 1 constituency1Ambulance purchased by government is not fixing the country i guess. The Scholarships extended to undergraduate students all over the country does not constitute fixing the country i guess. The many SHS buildings built by this government in the last four years i guess does not constitute fixing the country. The Bank clean up exercise embarked upon by this government i guess is not fixing the country. The many roads built by this government, even though it was claimed that Mahamas government had built all roads in Ghana is not fixing the country. Were we not in this country when public sector employees who had worked for three years and over were given only 3 months arears? Common lets be serious as a country, and admit that Akufo Addo has performed better and would continue to do so in his second term. WE DON'T HAVE SHORT MEMORIES NOW, EVENTHOUGH ALL OUR PROBLEMS HAVE NOT BEEN SOLVED.
