Thousands march against government over selective prosecutions and arbitrary arrests

The NPP leadership, party supporters, the PNP and other citizens who joined the massive march sent a clear message to the Mahama government that Ghana’s democracy was built on two pillars: equal justice and freedom of expression.

But when you drop cases against your own ministers and then hunt down opponents with the same courts, that's not justice; that's political warfare,” one of the demonstrators said.

First, they criticised the justice system and slammed the Mahama government for discontinuing several corruption and financial crime cases against former NDC appointees, while allegedly “under the guise of fighting corruption” “persecuting” former NPP officials.
