Veteran Ghanaian comedian and social commentator Kwaku Sintim-Misa, widely known as KSM, has slammed Aglow International Ghana for their recent prayer session aimed at resolving the country’s persistent power outages, commonly referred to as ‘dumsor’.
In a video shared on his YouTube channel, KSM expressed his concerns over the group’s decision to seek divine intervention for issues he believes are rooted in mismanagement and poor planning.
According to him, practical solutions and critical thinking, rather than prayer, should be used to address the challenges facing the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
“We look for what needs to be fixed; we don’t ignore all of that and go and pray. I don’t like interfering with people’s faith, but what I interfere with is the misapplication of faith. Where, instead of thinking and using common sense and science to solve a problem, we are going to pray. No amount of prayer can solve dumsor except thinking,” he said.
KSM further questioned the consistency of Aglow International’s activism, noting their apparent silence during previous administrations.
“We had eight years under the NPP; all we saw from Aglow International was ‘Let’s give thanks’. But Mahama is in power, and we are going to pray for ECG,” he remarked.
He also highlighted the organisation’s efforts in empowering and training women, suggesting that these initiatives are more impactful for Ghana’s development than constant prayer sessions.
“Aglow also helps to empower and train women. Showcase that; they are more important to the development of Ghana than everyday prayer,” KSM added.
