When we ask for #FixTheCountry, these are the kind of systemic abuses and errors we hope to connect.

How can the Ghana Stats. Service de-socialize and erase the Ewesub-ethnic groupings in the 2021 Census Instrument with just one code 301 when we have various groupings? 1/1

... The 2021 PHC instruments identified and coded sub-ethnic groups of major ethnic groups except the Ewe ethnic group which has no sub-ethnic codings in the enumeration instruments. They failed to account for sub-ethnic groups such as Anlo, Tongu, Vedome, Adaklu, Avenor, & Dakpa

... This renders the Population and Housing Census (PHC) instruments unfit and unacceptable for the 2021 census as it failed to accurately account for ethnic diversity as a national data collection instruments. There are various Ewe sub-ethnic groups that must be captured.

... This grand de-socialization of the Ewes sub-ethnic groups could be seen on pages 295-296 of the Field Officers' Manual available on the GSS website. census2021.statsghana.gov.gh/gssmain/fileUp…

... The erasing of ethnic diversity for the Ewe ethnic group, if not addressed, will affect the quality of the data for use in policy decisions, multidisciplinary research and validation of historical works, targeting of gov’t programmes and social interventions. #GSSFixThisNow

... Your 2021 population census instrument is ethnocentric against Ewes, withdraw it — CSS to Ghana Statistical Service #GSSFixItNow #FixTheCountry modernghana.com/news/1083656/y…

... The Ewe sub-ethnic groups consist of Aŋlɔ (Anlo), Tɔŋu (Tongu), Ʋedome (Vedome), Aɖaklu (Adaklu), Avenɔ (Avevor), and Ɖakpa (Dakpa).

Same applies to Ga-Dangme (Gã-Daŋbɛ) which consists of: Ga, Ada, Shai, Krobo, Osodoku, Ningo & Prampram. #FixTheCountry #GSSFixIt
