Entertainment pundit and former musician, Kwame Asare Obeng, aka A-Plus has shed light on the detrimental effects of the ongoing power outages (dumsor) and the exorbitant cost of electricity on marriages.
According to him, these challenges have led to the disintegration of relationships, as couples struggle to even find solace in intimacy amidst the sweltering heat.
Furthermore, A Plus highlighted the financial burden imposed on couples when electricity is available, as the high costs strain their financial stability.
This issue was first brought to the fore by a Kenyan MP who addressed the impact of power outages on marriages during a session in the Kenyan Parliament a few days ago.
The MP, Babu Iwino pointed out that these factors put a strain on marriages, stating, “Marriage cannot be sweet and successful when the cost of electricity is high. Even in the process of lovemaking, you need to see what you are eating.”
“Marriage cannot be sweet and successful when the cost of electricity is high. Even in the process of lovemaking, you need to see what you are eating.
So, when the cost of electricity is high, you will be so depressed and you can’t even deliver because when the lights are on and the cost is high then you can’t deliver well. It’s breaking marriages.”
A-plus echoed his sentiment, saying that due to frequent power outages, couples are unaware of the type of ‘food’ they consume in the bedroom. He urged the government to take immediate action to address this issue.
