Comedian DKB to lead celebrity demo against ‘Dumsor’
Ghanaian comedian, Derrick Kobina Bonney,
popularly called DKB, says he will soon lead a
demonstration by celebrities against the power
crisis in the country.

According to the comedian, who made the revelation
during an interview on Rhythmz A-Z on Joy FM with
Mamavi Owusu-Aboagye Saturday, the demonstration
is for the celebrities to register their
displeasure about the power crisis.

Ghanaians are currently enduring power rationing,
popularly called ‘Dumsor’, due to shortfalls
in power generation.

Several celebrities, including Yvonne Nelson,
Sarkodie, Lydia Forson, Wanlov the Kubolor, and
Chris Attoh, have called on Government to find an
urgent solution to the problem.

DKB said the demonstration, which is currently in
the planning stage, will create more awareness
about the #dumsormuststop campaign currently being
championed by some celebrities on social media.

“It’s all for the good of every Ghana. We are
not saying we want to fight his excellency, we all
love his excellency but when the thing no nice,
fire for come inside,” he said in pidgin.

The comedian noted that the power challenges
affect the livelihoods of showbiz personalities
and their work just like other Ghanaians.

“What I hope to achieve is for the government to
know that there is another department of society
that is hard hit by this crisis because the whole
time it has always been a political affair,” DKB
explained.
