Ghanaian musician and radio presenter Blakk Rasta, has expressed his wish to have parliamentarians use Pidgin English as a medium of expression in Ghana's parliament.
Accoding to him, this will help a lot of people understand what is discussed on the floor of parliament.
"I'm glad having people like A Plus who speak Pidgin in Parliament. I have heard him speak Pidgin. I have heard Baba Sadiq also speak Pidgin. I want to hear Pidgin in Parliament, to the level of the people. The big English is too much," he told Kwame Dadzie in an interview on Joy FM's Showbiz A-Z.
Blakk said that instead of always waiting for the media to explain the complicated issues that are raised in parliament, having the business of parliament discussed in Pidgin English will help break the communication barrier.
"Radicalise the parliament house. Bring it to the level of the people. Encourage them to be part of the discussions. When the are discussing things in parliament, it is like bourgeoisies drinking tea. So we all stay back waiting for the news people to break it down for us to digest. I want to hear pidgin in parliament," he further noted.
Meanwhile, Blakk Rsata has also revealed that he had planned on an exit from the country before the election.
According to him, while awaiting the outcome of the election, he needed a better alternative to live his life so he travelled abroad to facilitate that process.
“We’re just looking for change and change is here. I was so fed up. I told everybody that should these guys win the election again, I would be out of this country.
A month before the election I was out of the country. I was in Jamaica, I was in America and some other places just planning a very fluid exit should they win,” he said.
He added that just as Nigerian author Wole Soyinka vowed to destroy his American passport if Donald Trump won his first election, he [Blakk Rasta] would have stuck to his words by relocating from Ghana.
According to Blakk Rasta, the NPP has plunged the country into very austere situations and Ghana needed a break from the government.
