Blakk Rasta has strongly criticized former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta and Mohammed Amin Adam, accusing them of making Ghana’s economic problems worse while benefiting themselves.
In a passionate interview on Urban Blend on 3FM, the outspoken musician and broadcaster said Ofori-Atta took advantage of the suffering of Ghanaians for personal gain.
He pointed out Ofori-Atta’s involvement with Data Bank, the investment firm he co-founded, which was involved in government bond deals. “When Data Bank was making millions out of the suffering of poor Ghanaians, these people still claimed they were Christians. They quote the Bible unprovokedly. They will go to hell. Every pretender, his place is hell,” Blakk Rasta said.
Blakk Rasta also blasted Ofori-Atta for using religion to cover up policies that caused hardship, especially for pensioners. He called this behavior hypocritical and damaging to ordinary citizens.
“How do you claim to be a servant of God when your policies send old men and women to early graves? When pensioners cry, when people lose their livelihoods, and all you do is smile and quote scripture? That is hypocrisy of the highest order,” he added.
He didn’t stop there, also criticizing Dr. Amin Adam’s appointment as Finance Minister. Blakk Rasta suggested that Adam was chosen not for his skills but to cover up the failures of the previous government.
He compared Adam to Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, accusing both of being used for political purposes. “The same way they pushed Bawumia in to cover up for their mess, they sent him on a lying trip. Bawumia descended into the gutters of lies,” he stated.
Blakk Rasta ended by warning that history will remember those who put their own ambition before the people’s well-being, as they have only continued the suffering of Ghanaians. “Amin Adam, like Bawumia, has allowed himself to be used. Now, when all is said and done, what will he be remembered for? Not for fixing anything, but for continuing the suffering of the people. That’s what happens when you put power over principle.”
