The lady lamented that for three days, she had been experiencing power cuts, a situation which had negatively affected her, especially when it came to preserving her food.

"When you speak of it, someone will say we are doing politics. People will begin to ask you when Mahama was made President. For three days, we have been sleeping in this heat. My stew and everything I did in the fridge has spoilt, yet people don't want to talk about this."

The lady lamented that she now roams from one friend's house to the other because she cannot endure the humid conditions that come with having to sleep in Dumsor.

"What makes me happy is that both members of the New Patriotic Party and the National Democratic Congress have been affected by the Dumsor. Ah, for three days now, I have become a vagabond moving from place to place, sleeping in people's homes because of Dumsor. Why, my stew in the fridge has spoilt, why," she said, looking sad.

At the time of writing this report, the video had raked in over 14,000 likes and 1,000 comments.
