Renowned Ghanaian Musician and Radio Personality Criticizes Kyerematen’s Political Move
September 25, 2023
Blakk Rasta, a well-known Ghanaian musician and radio personality, has openly criticized former Minister for Trade and Industry, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, labeling him a “coward” following reports of Kyerematen’s potential withdrawal from the New Patriotic Party (NPP). In a recent appearance on the UrbanBlend show on 3FM, Blakk Rasta did not mince his words, asserting that Kyerematen’s political career could come to an end if he proceeds with his plan to leave the NPP.
Rasta’s scathing remarks centered on Kyerematen’s alleged inaction during his tenure as a minister, particularly during the administration of President Nana Akufo-Addo. “Alan Kyerematen is a coward, no two ways about that, hopeless coward,” Rasta declared. “I have ceased to like Alan from the time that he sat and watched Nana Akufo-Addo plunder and destroy this nation in the name of a minister of state.”
Furthermore, Rasta accused Kyerematen of failing to take a stand on crucial issues, such as the controversial E-levy, despite privately disapproving of it. “He watched him under his very nose, smelling thievery and corruption. Yet he did nothing out of cowardice. He watched the man pass the so-called E-levy even though from sources close to him, he didn’t like the idea yet he couldn’t stand out and say anything. He sat down and watched when E-levy was passed,” Rasta asserted.
The musician and radio personality also questioned Kyerematen’s prospects as an independent candidate in the upcoming 2024 presidential elections. “A coward like this, if in your own party, you couldn’t win anything substantial, which right-thinking Ghanaian is going to vote for you when you go independent? This guy is a big joker,” Rasta remarked. He went on to criticize the NPP for alleged intimidation and internal discord.
In recent developments, Alan Kyerematen has formally resigned from the New Patriotic Party and announced his intention to run as an Independent Candidate in the 2024 presidential elections. His decision to go independent has sparked significant debate and speculation within Ghana’s political landscape.
Kyerematen’s departure from the NPP and the ensuing controversy surrounding his political future have ignited discussions across the nation, as Ghanaians eagerly await the outcome of the 2024 presidential race.
