Ghanaian comedian Lekzy DeComic has expressed frustration over how Ghanaians are quick to politicise issues of national interest.

In an interview with GhanaWeb’s Joseph Henry Mensah during Parrout Mouth’s “Laugh It Off” show on April 26, 2026, Lekzy noted that people are quick to associate others with a political party whenever they speak about the ongoing power outages, popularly known as dumsor.

He explained that the increasing power outages in the country are alarming, and the government should adopt a more efficient approach to solving the problem rather than turning it into a political debate.

“I slept in darkness all through. What more can we say? When you try to speak the truth, people label you as belonging to a certain party. All we want is the betterment of Ghana. So if something is not right, we just have to make our leaders understand that it is affecting businesses.

“I have always been saying this: if you don’t have good stew or soup in your fridge, you won’t understand this conversation. So I only believe that we are on the right path, and they should fix it as soon as possible before it gets out of hand,” he said.

Lekzy further shared his thoughts on the recent xenophobic attacks in South Africa, where some Ghanaians have reportedly been attacked.

According to him, South Africa’s real problems are not with black Africans living in the country but rather with deeper structural issues, yet innocent Africans from other countries are being targeted.

“It is quite unfortunate that they are attacking Ghanaians living in South Africa. Actually, the country is highly dominated by white people, but they are not able to even confront the same white people taking over their land. Instead, they go after the minority, which is us, the same Black people.

“I don’t know how this is happening. I don’t know where this energy is coming from, but I only believe that the AU, the African Union, can help rectify it,” he added.
