Renowned reggae musician and political activist, Blakk Rasta, has accused politicians in Ghana of being responsible for the problems the country currently faces.
He lamented the struggles faced by citizens, especially children and mothers.
The activist pointed out the dangers children face just to attend school and the inadequate healthcare for mothers, especially those in labor.
“I see the politicians as people who are part of our suffering in the nation. Children are dying while crossing the river to their school. I sit back and say, I don’t want to have my children in this society. What kind of a society is this that children are growing up in a corrupt atmosphere?
“They are not getting what is due to them. You’re simply going to school, and you have to die. You are going to give birth to a child, and you are dying. Mothers are laboring on the bed floors and dying.”
Blakk Rasta quizzed the current state of Ghana, once known as the Gold Coast, adding that despite its rich resources like gold and diamonds, the country remains artificially poor due to poor leadership.
He also reflected on the vision of Ghana’s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, who named the country after an ancient kingdom known for its prosperity, and questioned whether the nation is living up to that legacy.
