The Ministry of National Security has denied claims by the convenor of the FixTheCountry Movement that a US$1 million offer was made to them to suspend their protest on Thursday.
Mawuse Oliver Barker-Vormawor alleged that a prominent government official offered the money at a meeting to the movement and allied organisations to halt the protest against the lingering economic crisis.
