ACCRA (Reuters) — Thousands of Ghanaians marched peacefully through parts of the capital Accra to protest the government’s failure to solve a three-year long electric power crisis that has slowed business activities and hindered economic growth.

The march, organised by Ghanaian celebrities and artistes, drew a gathering of academics, civil servants and private business people which stretched half a kilometre through the streets of the city’s eastern districts.

The protesters, clothed in black and red, held kerosene torches and candles as they chanted anti-government slogans.

Among them was a man carrying a table-top refrigerator which he said was damaged by frequent power cuts.

Economic growth in Ghana, once a favourite of investors in Africa, has been slowed by fiscal crisis that forced the government to seek International Monetary Fund support and undermined its reputation abroad for financial management.

But it is the energy crisis that has crippled businesses at home and angered ordinary Ghanaians.

Currently, the electricity company provides power for 12 hours out of a 36-hour cycle.

“We are saying that three years is more than enough to solve this crisis – it’s taking a toll on our livelihood,” said Yvonne Nelson, convener of the march.

The government has blamed the problem on increased power demand over the years.

A million years of power failure isn't enough for Nigerians to carry out a protest..I don't know what God made them of. They ld rather laugh over it than to protest.

Ok Na!!

This people get time o.
When some Naija people will simply get 'I better pass my neighbour ' at least

Now this people really have sense. Instead of we Nigerians to follow suit. We are busy trekking to celebrate our politicians just to get bread crumbs from them.

I say that we as a people need complete brain reboot!, because we as Nigerians don't think/reason straight. Our thoughts are usually clouded by, religion/tribal sentiment.

Nigerians have learnt the hard way, they know that no matter how much you protest, nothing will be done about it.
