Entertainment pundit, Whitney Boakye
Entertainment commentator, Whitney Boakye, has expressed bewilderment at the opposition party's absence at the #dumsormuststop vigil.
On June 9, 2024, actress Yvonne Nelson led Ghanaians in a vigil to emphasize the urgent need for the government to address the country's electricity supply.
Despite the presence of a few celebrities and some notable figures from the opposition National Democratic Congress, the absence of NDC MPs at the event was glaring.
This was in stark contrast to the 2015 vigil, where the NPP Minority had strong representation.
Speaking on the development, Boakye remarked, "They frequently raise the issue of Dumsor in Parliament, so I'm surprised they didn't seize this opportunity to amplify their message. The reality of power outages is undeniable."
Reflecting on the impact of Dumsor on the entertainment industry, she added,
"Event organizers now find themselves compelled to factor generator costs into their budgets due to uncertainty over power supply. It's become a matter of knowing the prices and making the necessary arrangements. Unfortunately, there seems to be a tendency to adapt rather than address the underlying challenges."
