Blackson's Fight Against Government
Recently, Michael Blackson criticised the government for using funds from Eurobond investments to pay off debts, which has left investors like him in a difficult position. He explained that he invested in Eurobonds believing they would support the free school he built, but the government has since destroyed his plans.
âWhoâs the Minister of Finance in Ghana? I have issues with this guy. People from the diaspora chose to invest in our continent, and now our money is being used to pay off debt. Weâre left with disappointing options: a 37% cut for 5% interest over 11 years, or no cut with just 1.9% interest over 15 years. Iâm very disappointed in my people for this,â he stated.
Blackson also spoke about his investments in Ghana, particularly his decision to invest in the country's Eurobonds. He explained that he hoped the bonds' returns would help sustain the free school he built in Ghana, which requires $10,000 a month to cover operational costs such as teacher salaries, utilities, and other expenses.
