Reggae musician, Blakk Rasta
Reggae artiste Blakk Rasta has launched a scathing critique of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and the current Nana Akufo-Addo administration.
Speaking during his Black Pot show on 3FM on July 18, Blakk Rasta accused Bawumia of consistently lying to the Ghanaian public.
"Ghana does not need the NDC to tell her that Bawumia has peddled lies and affectionately he is a liar. Are we all not in Ghana? Were we all not here when we heard this guy going around and peddling a lot of lies?"
Blakk Rasta recalled the period when former President John Dramani Mahama was labelled as incompetent by the New Patriotic Party (NPP), which led many Ghanaians to believe in the need for a more capable government.
“When Mahama was branded as inefficient, in fact, the word they used accurately at the time was incompetent. We all bought into it because we believed that he was incompetent.
“According to the NPP, everybody was suffering. We all looked forward to seeing this suffering ease down. We wanted to see a competent government in power.
“But today, what do we see? Gerontocracy embedded in kleptocracy. A government of old thieves. That's what it means,” he added.
He also criticized the government's impact on freedom of speech, noting that journalists have faced attacks and that the administration has disappointed even the spirits at Awudome Cemetery.
“This Nana Akufo-Addo government has disappointed even ghosts. Journalists have been under attack. Under this government, freedom of speech has become a farce.
“A country that is struggling, a nation that is looking for serious people. All we see is politicians going around still telling us lies and looking down on our intellect.
“The NDC doesn't need to tell us this. We are not dumb, we are not morons."
Blakk Rasta urged Ghanaians to recognize these issues without needing the opposition to point them out.
