However, a letter reportedly signed by Joshua Akamba and three other members of the group, suggests that they lack funds and had requested for GHc 974,900 from former President John Mahama to embark on one of their demonstrations held in Kumasi. Reacting to this on Peace FM's evening news at 6 pm, Joshua Akamba said: "you have to withdraw your statement . Per responsible journalist, you should have spoken to the people first before coming on air; that is responsible journalism. (moreover) my name is Joshua Hamidu Akamba; my name is never Joshua Akamba so you have to withdraw and apologize to me."
