Renowned American comedian and actor of Ghanaian heritage, Michael Blackson, has once again criticized the Ghanaian government, claiming it has jeopardized his investment.
Previously, Blackson revealed that he bought Eurobonds to fund his school in Agona Nsaba (Michael Blackson Academy), but he has faced difficulties in recovering his investment.
He explained that he chose to invest in Eurobonds, believing it would support the long-term financial sustainability of the free school he established.
However, he said, “Ghana decided to use our money to pay their debt to China or whoever and leave us hanging.”
Frustrated by the circumstances, he publicly addressed the finance minister regarding his concerns.
On September 23, 2024, he took to social media to express his dissatisfaction, sharing a post from the Ministry of Finance that highlighted the assistance the country received during the COVID-19 pandemic.
He questioned why the government had to interfere with their investment.
The post read, “If Ghana received that much money for Covid, why did they touch our Eurobonds? Why did they use people’s life savings? We still need answers.
“Ghana has received US$1 billion allocation from the historic US$650 billion IMF SDR allocation to boost global recovery.”
