An Accra high court has ruled in favour of the #FixTheCountry campaigners in a hearing ago that led to the arrest one of the lead campaigners of the group a few hours ago.

The court dismissed the application for injunction declaring that the application was moot because it was seeking to stop a demonstration slated for May 9, 2021.
The Attorney General, Godfrey Dame argued that the planned demonstrations were politically gatherings because they are demanding for the fulfilment of government pledges.
Lawyers of the #FixTheCountry however disagree, they argued that political gathering are already going on everyday and records of the Ghana Health Service also claimed that outdoor gatherings are not contributing to the spread of COVID-19.
