Blakk Rasta To Meet Privileges Committee of Parliament on 25th June

The Privileges Committee of Parliament has set 25th June as the date set for Blakk Rasta to appear before the committee for his comments he made on the entire membership of the House.

The controversial radio host is reported to have said that about 80 percent of Members of Parliament (MP) smoke marijuana popularly known locally as ‘wee’ and therefore, does not see the reason why its usage has not been legalized in the country. He was later heard saying he did not say they smoke marijuana but rather, knowing or unknowingly, they use marijuana.

His comments have irked the parliamentarians who are pushing for him to be dragged before the Privileges Committee of the House for questioning.

MP for Afigya Sekyere East, David Hennric Yeboah, who raised the issue on the floor of Parliament two weeks ago prayed to the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Edward Doe Adjaho, to immediately summon the reggae musician for denigrating the legislature.

The Speaker, who was equally not enthused about the reggae musician’s comments directed Hennric Yeboah to meet him at his office for further deliberations before making a pronouncement or ruling on the matter.
