Reggae musician and radio host,
Blakk Rasta is apparently not out of
the woods yet, after Deputy Majority
Leader, Alfred Agbesi hinted that
Parliament is likely to punish him
despite an apology from him.
Blakk Rasta was dragged before
Parliament's Privileges Committee for
alleging that about 80% of MPs
smoke Marijuana (wee).
"His apologies to the committee
does not end the matter at all.
When the report comes, the report
can say that, yes, they have
accepted the apology yet it is
subject to the final acceptance by
the House [Parliament]. So we are
waiting for the committees report
and I believe the House will take a
serious view of what has happened."
Though Blakk Rasta explained that
the comments form part of his
advocacy project for wee to be
legalised in Ghana, he subsequently
apologised.
Alfred Agbesi in a Citi News
interview insisted that though Blakk
Rasta has apologised for his "wee"
comment, the apology will not end
the matter.
This, he said, is because Parliament
has the final say on the report by
the Privileges Committee.
"So people should not jubilate and
people should not say that is all
that Parliament can do, No! More is
to come," he warned.
Blakk Rasta told the Committee
when he appeared before them last
Thursday that he made the comment
on the "spur" of the moment and he
was also "on heat."
