Blakk Rasta has issued fiery salvos at Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta and his successor, Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam.
Speaking on the Urban Blend show on 3FM monitored by MyNewsGh, the outspoken reggae musician and broadcaster criticized their handling of Ghana’s economy.
“It was a knee-jerk reaction, a rushed decision to bring him on. They never had the plan to make him Finance Minister, but by default, we saw Ken Ofori-Atta kicked out because of his abysmal performance,” he said.
He expressed frustration over how Ofori-Atta handled the economy, particularly concerning pensioners.
“In his tenure, we saw unprofessional haircuts meted out to our pensioners. Many of them visited early graves, some in unmarked graves.
“As we speak, their souls and spirits and ghosts will keep chasing Ofori-Atta. It will never be well with him until he comes to apologize fervently and passionately to the people of this country.”
Blakk Rasta accused the former Finance Minister of arrogance, stating that he refused to step aside despite overwhelming evidence that his policies were sinking the economy.
“We saw a pretending Finance Minister full of ego who would never step aside for the nation’s economy to become better. His own uncle, the president, encouraged him on his ego trip when the people were suffocating under his poor and irresponsible leadership.”
He criticized the introduction of the controversial e-levy, which was initially promoted as a solution to Ghana’s financial struggles.
“He lied to us that a certain e-levy was going to save us from running to the IMF and the World Bank. But when it was passed in Parliament, what happened? Less than a week later, they still went ahead to the IMF, begging for billions of dollars.”
