There have been increasing calls for Ghanaian celebrities and influencers to join the protest against the ongoing issue of erratic power supply in the nation. While some celebrities have shown support for this movement, others remain hesitant to participate.
One such celebrity, Ghanaian comedian Warris, shared his perspective on the matter, stating that he would only take part in the protest if he is compensated.
He argued that in Ghana, organizers of such demonstrations often receive significant financial backing, and therefore he believes he should also be paid for his involvement.
Warris emphasized that he sees the protest as a business partnership rather than a voluntary act of service to the country.
He explained, “If they call me and there is money, then it is for a good course. It is for a good cause that there is light for us to work and earn money. If they call me to partner with my brand, I will join them. Fixing the issue of power supply is a noble cause, and it is important work. However, if I am selected to participate, I will request payment beforehand.”
The comedian further expressed his concerns about the potential financial interests involved in organizing such protests, stating, “For example, if I decide to join Ola Michael for a demonstration, I will need to be compensated before taking part. This is because I am unsure of the financial arrangements he may have with those in power to organize such a demonstration.”
