A Plus Suggests Power Outages Contribute to Marriages Not Surviving

In the midst of ongoing discussions about Ghana’s persistent electricity problem, known locally as ‘dumsor’, Kwame A Plus highlights its impact on marriages.

A Plus shared a video of Kenyan MP Babu Iwino, who emphasized how unstable power affects relationships because couples can’t see each other during intimate moments.

A few months back, Babu Iwino lamented in parliament about Kenya’s unreliable power supply and high electricity costs, noting how it’s straining marriages.

He stressed that high electricity costs affect everything, even intimacy, because “you need to see what you are eating” during lovemaking.

A Plus echoed this sentiment, emphasizing how marriages struggle during ‘dumsor’ when people can’t see what they’re doing.

Despite calls from Ghanaians for a ‘dumsor’ timetable, Energy Minister Matthew Opoku Prempeh dismissed the idea, reassuring that the issue would be resolved soon.

Samuel Ayeh-Paye, former MP for Ayensuano Constituency, also assured that the government is diligently working to fix the power challenges by the end of May.

The shared concern from both Ghanaian and Kenyan officials underscores the severity of the electricity problem and its impact on everyday life, including relationships.
