The much-anticipated observance of “Ghana’s Day of Shame” on Tuesday February 24, 2015 will be broadcast live on radio.
Organizers says this move is to ensure that as many Ghanaians as possible follow the event and participate in it.
‘Eventually we hope to get at least three radio stations to cover the event live. We have begun conversation with Radio Gold and it is going well “said Duada Suru, a member of the Socialist Forum of Ghana (SFG) Organizer of the event.
The SFG declared February 24, the day on which the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the USA overthrew the Nkrumah government in 1966 as ‘Ghana Day of Shame’ about years ago.
Speakers at previous events have included Professor Atta Britwum and Professor Raymond Osei of the university of Cape Coast.
Other speakers include Professor Agyemang Badu Akorsa former presidential aspirant of the CPP, Dr. Gamal Nasser Adam and Dzodzi Tsikata of the University of Ghana and Madam Emalia Arthur a member of the Socialist Forum of Ghana.
The current event will be chaired by Comrade Kwasi Pratt Jnr. Managing Editor of the insight and a member of the Socialist Forum of Ghana.
The key-note speaker will be Professor Akilagpa Sawyer, forum Vice Chancellor of the University of Ghana and a member of the Council of State.
Yao Graham of the Third World Network and Nana Yaa Gyamfua, a member of the All African Peoples Revolutionary Party.
Organizers say they have invited all political parties, youth and students organizations. Members of Parliament, Faith based organizations and gender movements.
Dr. Yao Graham says he will focus on Ghana’s energy crisis and provide a perspective for the future.
Interest in the event appears to be rising as a direct result of recent observance of the 5oth Anniversary of the death of J.B. Danquah, one of Nkrumah’s most uncompromising critics.
