Ghanaian comic actor Bismark Ofori, better known in showbusiness circles as Kyekyeku, has called on the government to fix the country's intermittent power outages.

The actor, who sat for a discussion about his first-ever 1957 movie premiere in Kumasi and Accra, opened up about dumsor, plans for the film, and the 2024 general election.
''Dumsor is not a good thing. We use light daily, and it is okay for people to talk about it. The government must fix it. People watch us with their devices, so they can only patronise us on TV and their devices with light to charge them.
''We're all affected by dumsor; the government must fix it to prevent people from hitting the street to protest against the intermittent power outages,'' he told YEN.com.gh.
Kyekyeku to premiere 1957 movie in Europe and the US
Speaking about plans for his historic 1957 movie premiere, Kyekyeku disclosed that he intends to reach his fans in Europe and the US.
''We're working on premiering the movie outside Ghana, in France, Belgium, Germany, and Holland. After that, we'd move to the US and announce the date this year,'' Kyekyeku said.
The entertainer called for a peaceful general election in December to save lives and properties.
