Comedian DKB has stated that his peers in the creative arts sector have remained quiet about national issues, including the ongoing power problems, due to their connections with the current administration.
He thinks they are hesitant to criticize the source of their support, having gained advantages from their relationship with the ruling party.
Expressing his irritation, DKB pointed out the lack of involvement from his peers in advocacy efforts, contrasting it with their active participation under previous governments.
He condemned those who profess neutrality while displaying obvious partisan leanings, calling it misleading.
“You pose yourself as neutral and we believe you. We did it in NDC time, NPP is here and we want to do it again to get our rights and they are nowhere to be found,” he stated.
He further stated, “Of course, we know that you’ve shown party colours and you’ve benefitted from it, therefore, you can’t come and bite the finger that feeds you. All I want to say is there is no problem showing your party colours. Some of us are neutrals, we don’t care and we will come out to speak at the right time.
“So don’t act like a neutral when you’re not because it is annoying and deceptive. We are here and where are they?.”
Yvonne Nelson spearheaded a recent vigil to address the power crisis, similar to the Dumsor Must Stop Vigil held during the prior administration.
However, the attendance was lower than anticipated, suggesting a hesitance among some to express their concerns openly.
