Blakk Rasta, born Abubakar Ahmed, a seasoned Ghanaian reggae singer and media personality, insists Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta has no right to hold on to his post following the mass disapproval from Ghanaians.
He claimed that the under-fire minister is not medically fit and must resign amid the country’s economic hardships.
“This is Ofori Atta, and when you look at his face, this man is so sickly and so unashamed to talk about his sickness yet will not move out of the space. What a greedy charlatan!” he yelled on his “Black Pot” show on Accra-based 3FM.
The U-turn made by the finance minister to go to the IMF despite pushing the controversial E-levy he claimed was the “economic saviour” on Ghanaians, he said, is “shameless.”
“The shamelessness of a country. Before God and man, the sun, the mother, the uncle, and the Holy Spirit, you swore that you would never go to the IMF as long as the E-Levy was passed. By some political jingoisms, you were able to pass the so-called E-Levy,” he said.
“After passing the demonic E-Levy, less than a month later, you are knocking on the doors of the so-called IMF,” he added.
The controversial singer claimed that the IMF is playing on the intelligence of the Finance Minister, but he is unaware due to his ignorance.
“Now the IMF is playing politics with you. The IMF is giving you several ropes for you to hang your citizens. The IMF is dangling a carrot in front of you, and you are not seeing the ditch that is in front of you. What a country!” Blakk Rasta laments.
Meanwhile, the censure motion filed against Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta by the minority caucus has failed.
The two-thirds required to approve the motion through voting was unsuccessful as the majority staged a walkout before the censure vote commenced.
