Popular American comedian and actor of Ghanaian descent, Michael Blackson, has descended on the Ghanaian government once again for what he described as ruining his investment.

Blackson had earlier said that he had purchased Eurobonds to run his school at Agona Nsaba (Michael Blackson Academy) but has had challenges with recouping his investment.

According to him, he invested in Eurobonds because he figured that would help pay for the lifespan of the free school he built.

However, he said, “Ghana decided to use our money to pay their debt to China or whoever and leave us hanging.”

Unhappy with the situation, he called out the finance minister in the wake of his concerns.

Taking to social media to lament on September 23, 2024, he shared a post from the Ministry of Finance indicating that the country received help during the COVID-19 period and questioned why the government had to touch their investment.

The post read, “If Ghana received that much money for Covid, why did they touch our Eurobonds? Why did they use people’s life savings? We still need answers.

“Ghana has received US$1 billion allocation from the historic US$650 billion IMF SDR allocation to boost global recovery.”
