Ashanti Region: Residents hold ‘dumsor vigil’, demand urgent action

They called on the government to address the issues contributing to the erratic power supply without further delay.

Dr Frank Amoakohene, the Ashanti Regional Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), criticised the government for mismanaging the country and leading it into economic and power crises.

He highlighted the failed promise of the current administration to end the power outages known as “dumsor,” pointing out that the situation has worsened and no clear timetable for the return of stable electricity supply has been provided.

They campaigned on the backbone of dumsor that during their tenure, there will be nothing like dumsor, but there is a rebirth, a reincarnation of the dumsor, and the worst of it is that we don’t even know when the light will go off.

He urged President Akufo-Addo and his government to take immediate action to end the power crisis and ensure that Ghanaians have access to reliable electricity.

“What we want to say is that now we have enough power, we have enough resources that we need to generate light, so why is the light not coming

What we want to tell our Akufo-Addo and Bawumia government and the NPP government is that we are tired, Ghanaians we are not angry enough and we want to demonstrate on this vigil to tell Nana Akufo-Addo and Bawumia government that that dumsor must stop and cease now.”
