Outspoken
reggae musician and radio presenter Blakk Rasta, has said on
Koforidua-based Vision 90.9FM’s entertainment analysis programme, ”Arts
and People” that he was ever prepared to take a ministerial portfolio
from any government that approached him.
Speaking to host Kwame
Dadzie who sought to know if he would accept an offer from any
government to be the Minister for Arts and Entertainment (should it be
created), he said he was more than competent to be a minister. ”Yes, my
brother, I would not mind doing it at all because I can do it and do it
well. I am looking forward to such opportunity so I can use my position
to influence the lot of ignorant souls we have in this country
especially the youth”, Blakk said.
However, he was quick to add
that he would accept such a portfolio if there is not going to be
partisan strings attached. ”I have always not liked to be involved in
partisan politics because it is dirty, and that is why I would not take
such a position on partisan grounds. I would want to operate from my
consciousness without restrictions from any one”, he added.
Asked
if the award given him by Ghana Music Awards organizers Charterhouse,
for his ”Miss Right” as Best Reggae Song of the Year would keep his
mouth zipped on issues about Charterhouse and their music awards, he
responded that no one could bribe him with an award and was ready to
criticize if he is convinced that his criticism was warranted and sound.
Blakk
Rasta said that if the organizers decided to ban him for three years
for bashing them and have now come to their senses to lift the ban, he
just had to take the award, for after all he deserved it. |
