Comedian DKB has urged organisers of the September 23 Anti-Galamsey protest to trust President John Mahama’s claims that he is already taking action to address the issue.
Speaking on the matter, DKB maintained that President Mahama should be trusted to settle the concerns raised about illegal mining in the country.
He added that people should trust the president’s promises and that protests would be unnecessary.
A video shared by the comedian on his Facebook page, said : “Yo, this is my message to those who want to organise the Anti-Galamsey Demonstration. Listen, when JM, President Mahama, tells you he is working on something, he is really working on it. He’s not like the others.”
The comic recounted how the president intervened promptly during the last dumsor vigil that broke out during his administration, even going as far as providing streetlights for demonstrators.
He noted that since then, dumsor has largely become a thing of the past.
“I remember the Dumsor video. He said he was working on the Dumsor. We thought he was playing, so we went to the demonstration. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In the end, who solved Dumsor for us? This year, 9 months, not a single night or day of darkness. You understand? So if JM says he’s working on it, he is working on it.
“He is not lying. He doesn’t do Chandam and Vandam. But if you insist, I want to inform you, if you insist on doing the Anti-Galamsey Demonstration, don’t panic.
“JM practises democracy. He doesn’t fear demonstration. He sees it as a form of expression.
“Do you know what? When we were going to the Dumsor demonstration, the day of the demonstration, he came to fix street lights for us so that we would not fall into gutter. Imagine! So you, that you want to do your Dumsor, your Anti-Galamsey Demonstration, just know that the day of your demonstration, he will organise sound system and brass band for you, for you to enjoy yourself. He will come and share free water.”
