'I’ll join 'dumsor' protest only if I’m paid' – Comedian Waris insists

There have been calls for Ghanaian celebrities and influencers to hit the streets of Ghana to protest the growing trend of unstable power supply in the country.

Some celebrities have since embraced the decision while others have been skeptical about it.

However, sharing his thoughts on the situation, Ghanaian comedian, Warris, has stated that he will embark on such a move only if he is paid.

He argued that in Ghana organizers of such demonstrations are usually known to have some strong financial backing, so he (Warris), will demand money before taking up such a task.

According to him, he regards the protest as a partnership rather than a service to the country.

“If they call me and there is money, then it is for a good cause. It is for a good cause that there is light for us to work and get money. If they call me and they tell me they want to partner with my brand I will join them. Fixing the light is a good cause and it's the lord’s work. My issue is that if I’m selected then I'll have to be paid.

“Let’s say for example if I decide to join Ola Micheal for a demonstration, I will have to take money before I present myself for such a demonstration. This is because I don’t know where Ola passed and the kind of money he has taken from the powers that be to organize such a demonstration," he retorted.
