Ace Ghanaian broadcaster Kwasi Kyei Darkwah (KKD) has revealed that his father now fears for his following his recent criticisms of happenings in the country.
According to him, even though his father fears he may be killed, he also encourages him to continue to speak the truth at all times because it is required to keep those in authority on their toes.
“They will kill you, thieves and corrupt people hate those who speak the truth”, KKD said as he quoted his father.
“He is afraid they will kill me but encouraged me to go ahead”, he added.
KKD in the last couple of weeks has been critical of Ghana’s Finance Minister Ken Ofori Atta and his Databank and other government officials for their alleged corrupt acts.
According to the broadcaster, he was surprised at the government for constantly employing the services of a company co-founded by the Finance Minister as advisors for some of Ghana’s international loan transactions.
KKD also believes that it may be the reason the country keeps borrowing, a habit he insisted cannot be allowed to continue.
Speaking on GTV’s Breakfast Show on Wednesday, August 17, KKD lashed out at Parliament for keeping quiet about such an issue.
“I read a report yesterday that broke my heart. I saw how much Ghana owes but I also found that apparently, the minister of finance’s company or former company is the transaction advisor to the monies we borrow. So, as Ghana gets poorer, the minister of finance’s company or former company gets richer.”
“Is this what we want to continue in this country? Do we want to elect people into office, give them their pay and perks and then allow them and their friends and their companies or their former companies to be the very beneficiaries of the woes of our country?” he said.
However, sharing his father’s comment on his utterances on JoyNews in an interview, KKD revealed that his father is afraid they may kill him after watching his video.
“So they sent my father the video and he called me and he said calling me three times. They will kill you, they will kill you, these thieves, corrupt and liars hate people who speak the truth they will kill you. He said quoting his father”
