The prayers have worked—or at least, the exchange rate now walks with a little more dignity. And the translation, graciously provided by Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga—our parliamentary town crier—is this: “every Ghanaian must now part with GH¢1 per litre of fuel to end Dumsor.” Yes, the same Dumsor that’s been rebranded more times than a church prophet’s vision board. We’re not solving the crisis anymore—we’re crowdfunding it at the pump. But don’t think of this as a tax. No, no. That would be unspiritual. Think of it instead as a sacred seed, an anointed offering to the gods of the Akosombo Dam, a solemn tithe to ECG and GRIDCo for their inherited sins.
