The Concerned Citizens of the Komenda Traditional Area have rescheduled the planned protest against the Komenda Sugar Factory’s leasing to an Indian company to Accra.
The protest was initially set to happen in Komenda on Tuesday, Auust 13, 2024 but has now been moved to the capital on a yet to be decided date.
The reason for the relocation of the protest, according to the organizers, is to ensure that it receives the needed attention at the highest level of government since the seat of government is in the capital.

“Following careful consideration and consultation with stakeholders, we have resolved to relocate our demonstration from Komenda to Accra.
“This strategic decision aims to amplify our voices, escalate our demands, and ensure that our concerns receive the attention they deserve at the highest level of government,” part of the statement issued on Sunday, August 11, 2024, read.
The group also stated that they are obliged to express their concerns and dissatisfaction regarding the way government has handled investment agreements and consultation with local stakeholders.
