Dumsor vigil is a joke – Nzema Chief

The Paramount Chief of Western Nzema traditional area Awulae Annor Adjaye III has described actress Yvonne Nelson led protest dubbed #Dumsormuststop vigil as a joke.

Speaking at a public event organised by pressure group Occupy Ghana at the GNAT Hall in Takoradi over the weekend, Awulae Adjaye questioned the motive behind the protest.

“You want to make a revolution and want to address dumsor and you take one day to the streets and you think it will be solved? It can’t be solved! If President [John] Mahama can’t fix it and you want to show him that he can’t fix it, stay in the streets for one month; don’t go home, don’t sleep, don’t eat, die in the streets – that is revolution,” he asked.

He said for the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) government to take the populace seriously, the youth in particular must stage a sustained revolution to attract the attention of the president to deal with the power crisis confronting Ghana.

A group of celebrities including actress Yvonne Nelson, EL, DKB and Edem led thousands of Ghanaians a few days ago in a protest march dubbed #Dumsormuststop vigil to drum home the need to solve immediately, the crisis.

But the John Mahama-led administration has promised to fix the erratic electricity supply by the end of 2015 as it expects two power barges from Turkey to address the deficit in megawatts in the national grid.

this domsor thing cannot be solved no matter what demonstration done on the street...many people has talked about this domsor thing but the government said "yentie obiaa".. so lets all wait and see when it ends or we all know what to do in this coming election

I agree with you @Felizo.... It seems the government just loves to hear the sound of Demonstration... Even though it creates a platform for people to express their displeasure over the current crisis that has hit the country's economy so bad, it doesn't really seem to be the solution since many demonstrations have been organized but none has been considered...

The only thing we can do now is to wait and see what transpires from now till the next elections which is just around the corner.. In the end, if this crisis is dealt with finally whether before or after the elections, it will benefit every Ghanaian and subsequently, foreign investment will start increasing which will in turn boost the country's economy to a high level so that people's livelihood will be improved..

That's what we all want... But for now, we just have to wait and see.....
