Some commercial sex workers in Accra, Ghana are
unhappy because inconsistent power supply is spoiling their business.
According to Omg Ghana, 32 sex workers revealed their
displeasure about the situation in the country.
Many of the women interviewed reportedly conduct
their trade at Toppers, a popular brothel at St. John’s near
Dome in Accra.
“I find
myself in an emotional frenzy when the dumsor comes…night is a hateful agent
with its accompanying social vices like armed robbery and serial killing of
women. These things scare me. And I know the men are also scared. So, it throws
our business out of balance, and makes everything basaa,” said Gloria.
Another commercial sex worker named
Joyce, who is 19 years old said “From where we stand, the dumsor means
you can’t see anything on the street; the customers cannot see what we look
like. Why would they bother to come?”
Others complained that their high-profile clients
like ministers, businessmen, and members of parliament do not like conducting
their business when there is no power, as it gets hot, and the environment
stops becoming conducive for them.
“For instance, if he wants to go for marathon,
like all-night sex orgy, how do you do it in the heat? You can just imagine how
the two of you will be sweating profusely without a fan,” said Afia.
