Explaining this stance, he told Samuel Eshun on the Happy Morning Show: “We all will recall that Occupy Ghana brought attention on some of the things that we weren’t aware of. At least we can cite the bus branding as a major issue that Occupy Ghana drew the attention of the public to.

The editor while commending the #FixTheCountry conveners urged that for the country to be fixed, it must start with the small things such as our attitude as a people and that of our leaders.
