We have heard the call by the redoubtable Ms.Yvonne Nelson for round two of #dumsormuststop. Fair call even as we (IMANI) have maintained our criticism of government's bad decisions for what often seem like a rudderless leadership, the latest dumsor episodes being the zenith.

So as you can see ( T-shirts), we are preparing and we will make the call and choose how we demonstrate and who we want to partner at the right time. Meanwhile, others can also organise their own unique protests in churches, mosques, bars, schools and homes.

On April 17, 2024, residents in Kumasi organised a dumsor vigil in to express their frustrations over the power crisis.

The vigil, convened by Jerry James Sukah, saw residents holding placards protesting the recent power crisis and its effects on their businesses and households.
