Michael Blackson Questions Ghana’s Use of COVID Funds and Investment Mismanagement

Michael Blackson criticizes Ghana's financial management of COVID-19 funds, questioning euro bond mishandling and demanding accountability while expressing disappointment in African leadership

Michael Blackson, has once again taken to social media, expressing his worry over Ghana’s financial management, specifically how COVID-19 funds were handled. 

This comes just a week after he hinted at taking legal action against the country for mishandling his euro bond investments.

In his latest posts, Blackson is calling for accountability from the Ministry of Finance.

“If Ghana received that much money for COVID, why did they touch our euro bonds? Why did they use people’s life savings? We still need answers, ” he wrote on X, questioning why the government would interfere with personal investments when it had received significant international aid.

Blackson’s euro bond investments, intended for charitable causes like building a free school in Liberia, have been stuck for over 15 years due to mismanagement. In pointing out the consequences of this, he said, “I’m supposed to pay teachers, administrators, and staff in a couple of days, but the money I invested has been altered.”

Moreover, Blackson voiced his disappointment with leadership in Africa stating that, “Sometimes I wish our African countries could swap leaders with the western world,”. He called on leaders to prioritize the well-being of their people.

Despite losing a significant amount of money, Blackson remains determined to continue his charitable work underscoring his resilience and commitment to making a difference, even in the face of adversity.
