Reggae artist Blakk Rasta has sharply criticized Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and the current administration under Nana Akufo-Addo.
During his Black Pot show on 3FM on July 18, Blakk Rasta alleged that Bawumia has repeatedly deceived the Ghanaian people.
“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 reminisced about the time when ex-President John Dramani Mahama was branded as ineffective by the New Patriotic Party (NPP), which caused numerous Ghanaians to endorse the necessity for a more competent administration.
“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 condemned the government’s effect on free speech, pointing out that journalists have been targeted and that the administration has even let down 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 encouraged Ghanaians to be aware of these problems independently, without relying on the opposition to highlight them.
