Hit the streets, protest without food, water for months over ‘dumsor’ – Nzema chief
The Paramount Chief of Western Nzema traditional
area Awulae Annor Adjaye III is rallying the
Ghanaian youth to hit the streets and stay there
for months to force the government to address the
incessant power crisis.

“You want to make a revolution and want to
address dumsor and you take one day to the streets
and you think it will be solved? It can’t be
solved! If president [John] Mahama can’t fix it
and you want to show him that he can’t fix it,
stay in the streets for one month; don’t go
home, don’t sleep, don’t eat, die in the
streets – that is revolution,” the traditional
leader told hundreds of youth at a public event
organised by pressure group Occupy Ghana at the
GNAT Hall in Takoradi over the weekend.

The John Mahama-led administration has promised to
fix the erratic electricity supply by the end of
2015 as it expects two power barges from Turkey to
address the deficit in megawatts in the national
grid.

A group of celebrities including actress Yvonne
Nelson, EL, DKB and Edem led thousands of
Ghanaians a few days ago in a protest march dubbed
#Dumsormuststop vigil to drum home the need to
immediately solve the crisis.

Awulae Adjaye III described such protests as
ineffective and “a joke” because the
government sees that normal. The vocal paramount
chief said for the ruling National Democratic
Congress (NDC) government to take the populace
seriously, the youth in particular, must stage a
sustained revolution to attract the attention of
the president to deal with the power crisis
confronting Ghana.

He said the masses need to go on a hunger strike
among others.

“Sometimes I just laugh when people talk about
dumsor, dumsor and then they go to the streets for
one day.

“You people are jokers. You go to the streets
one day and you come back… you think you can
solve the problem? You can’t solve any problem
with this type of arrangement… stay in the
streets for three months and I will support you.
Mahama knows me very well… and I will tell him
why. You are not committed to doing what you have
to do and you talk about dumsor, you’ll sleep in
the darkness till doom’s day,” Awulae Adjaye
III noted.
