CELEBRITIES TO GO ON DEMO OVER DUMSOR

The recent power outage in most part of Ghana which is described by many as ‘Dumsor’ has been the major problem affecting Ghanaians.
Over the past couple of months the recent on and off of power supply in the capital Accra by the Electricity Company of Ghana ECG has affected lots of businesses negatively and left some people jobless. Ghana which is seen as a good example to other countries, due to its regular and stable power supply until the past couple of months is gradually losing its good image in terms of power supply.

Many Ghanaians including well known Celebrities have took to the social media to express their disappointment in the National Democratic Congress Administration lead by President John Dramani Mahama due to its inability to stabilize the power supply.

Now it seems all is set for the mega #DumsorMustStop Demo after a pertition to the police was leaked on social media in the early hours of Tuesday, 5th May.
Our news desk chanced on a beautiful art by ‘The Black Narrator’ revealing the ‘strategies’ of the #DumsorMustStop Crusaders, Yvonne Nelson, Sarkodie and Lydia Forson collectively known as #YSL. The cartoon photo below;
