Actress Yvonne Nelson has called on policy think tank IMANI Africa for a protest against the Akufo-Addo government over the erratic power supply commonly known as \u201cdumsor.\u201d<\/p>\n
This follows recent intermittent power outages.<\/p>\n
In 2015, Ghana experienced severe power cuts, leading to widespread frustration among citizens. Actress and producer Ms Nelson organised a massive protest against the John Mahama government over the erratic power supply.<\/p>\n
IMANI Ghana, a policy think tank, played a significant role in the success of the protest. The 2015 vigil brought together many Ghanaian celebrities and highlighted the impact of power cuts on daily life.<\/p>\n
On April 17, 2024, residents in the Ashanti region also organised a nighttime dumsor vigil in Kumasi. Hundreds of protesters marched against power supply challenges, expressing their frustration at the erratic power supply and frequent unannounced blackouts.<\/p>\n
Energy experts and citizens have criticised the government for poor management of the situation.<\/p>\n
Ms Nelson in a post on X on Monday stated that she is waiting for IMANI to reach out to her for the vigil like it did in 2015.<\/p>\n
\u201cImani Ghana, can we organize another vigil? I\u2019ve been waiting for you to reach out like you did years back. ( your team made our demo a success ) I\u2019m reaching out myself. The NPP and its leadership <\/span>@NAkufoAddo\u00a0<\/a><\/span> have taken Ghanaians for granted.<\/span>DUMSORMUSTSTOP<\/a><\/span>,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Imani Ghana, can we organize another vigil?
