Momentum is gathering ahead of Organised Labour’s demonstration on Tuesday.
Workers have started gathering at the Obra Spot at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra where the protest march is will set off.
The demonstration which comes of today will be followed by a nationwide strike on January 21 and 22.
Government, on the face of the pressure mounted by labour said on Monday at a News Briefing that it can only adjust the utility tariffs, however the energy sector levy, it claimed will remain unchanged, Labour Minister Haruna Iddrisu said.
But Organised Labour has rejected this, insisting that the current economic situation in the country does not merit the levels being imposed on Ghanaians, adding that this will cripple them.
Government has increased water by 67.2% and electricity by 59.2%.
In addition, it has also introduced the energy sector levy which saw a rise in the prices of petroleum products.
