One of Ghana’s young female musicians, Amaarae who appears to have been following the campaign in a tweet sighted by GhanaWeb on May 9, 2021, indicated that politicians don’t care about the cry of citizens but will be quick to react when one of their kids are kidnapped.

She wrote: “Politicians don’t gaf about your internet protests. Kidnap one of they kids or sth.”

Her comment has attracted mixed reactions from her followers as some have condemned her statement which they say incites violence.

One wrote: “We are not going to turn this country into a battlefield. We rather want to turn this country into a beautiful place with systems working.”

Another added: “Funny but this tweet can be used against you yunno.”

Others who sided with her also had this to say: “Never going to work. Violence is the only way.”

Another wrote: “Then we feed them with the school feeding foods by the time they return they will be malnourish.”

The Ghana Police Service prevented a proposed demonstration by convenors of #FixTheCountry movement after securing an injunction against it. The protest which was expected to come off on On May 9, 2021, was replaced with a virtual space protest.
