Ghana’s hottest Rapper Sarkodie has explained why he has not yet
released a song about the economy since the current New Patriotic Party
assumed office in 2016.
Sarkodie in a series of tweets on Sunday,
April 7, 2019, disclosed that although he was not a member of the NPP,
he had found a better way to channel his grievances about the economy
when the same problems kept recurring.
The 2012 BET winner noted that he didn't force out songs such as "Inflation," saying, they just came to him.
He tweeted: "Reason I don’t follow our political parties: I think as soon
as they get in power, they change! Personal gains become the order of
the day ... No one is ready to sacrifice long term for the people and
it’s Sad.
"People keep asking? Sark why are you not talking about
the economy? You are NPP right ... No!!! I’m not but sometimes it gets
frustrating repeating the same things you say but I have a better route
to go about it ... and plus those songs came to me I didn’t force them".
It will be recalled that in 2014, Sarkodie took aim at President
John Dramani Mahama over the state of the Ghanaian economy. He followed
it up with another song titled; Dumsor about a power crisis (Dumsor) in
the country in 2015.
In the song titled; Inflation, the multi-award winner lamented about the
erratic power supply in the country, the continuous depreciation of the
Ghanaian Cedi, and increased rate of corruption within government.
He also condemned Ghanaian politicians for presiding over the delay in
payment of salaries and only performing during an election period.
Sarkodie said Ghanaians are gradually losing trust in leaders.
He also appealed to President John Dramani Mahama to walk in the shoes of
the ordinary Ghanaian to help him address the many challenges they are
experiencing.

I visited The legend Apostle Kojo Safo Kantanka few days ago and I was
amazed!!!! So I didn’t know he offered to solve Dumsor ... Before y’all
come at me with y’all comment, why are we (the government x the people)
not giving him the chance to ??
We all guilty... Way forward... the next generation should think different
My mum plus my aunts are of the old school... there’s nothing you can say
to them to change their minds about their party but we the young ones
should think different! We must question... The power is in our hands
I just want everyone to be ok at least with the basics
