Prince David Osei
Actor Prince David Osei has voiced his frustration over the country’s ongoing power crisis, questioning how the government’s proposed 24-hour economy can function without reliable electricity.
In a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the actor criticised the frequent power outages — locally known as dumsor — especially in parts of Accra, stating that the situation continues to disrupt businesses and daily life for many Ghanaians.
“How can a country achieve a 24-hour economy when basic utilities like electricity can’t even be provided for 10 hours? It seems like a distant dream. #stopdumsornow,” he wrote on April 29, 2025.
His comment comes amid fresh public pressure on the government to address the erratic power supply that has plagued the country for years.
While many users agreed with his sentiments, others called out the actor’s perceived inconsistency. Critics recalled his vocal stance during the #DumsorMustStop protests under the previous National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration, contrasting it with what they describe as his relative silence during the current New Patriotic Party (NPP)-led government’s handling of the issue.
As Ghana eyes a more industrialized and 24/7 economy, Prince David Osei’s statement has reignited debate about whether the country’s basic infrastructure can support such ambitions without a stable power supply.
