Iconic reggae-dance hall musician and producer, Shatta Wale (Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr.) says there is no way government could have scored 72 per cent in its delivery when there is suffering among the masses.
Only 15 per cent is what he credits the government with in evaluating government’s performance particularly, in helping to grow the Arts industry, more so when he wakes up each morning with crowds at his doorstep seeking money for school fees, hospital bills and other needs.
Shatta who was responding to a listener’s question posed by his host on Empire FM in Takoradi after partaking in a Made in Takoradi Music Show, said President Akufo-Addo should listen to the wave of complaints if he must know the truth.
He suggested that he would have been stingy with awarding marks if he were a headmaster. “You see, me I don’t lie, this thing that I’m saying I just want the President to even know himself that people are complaining” that life has become unbearable in Ghana. He said he is not one to score the government 72 per cent when things are not in their best, asking “Who gave them 72 per cent?”
Shatta insisted that his 15 percent is more acceptable.
President Akufo-Addo had told the nation during his encounter with representatives of the media at the Jubilee House about a fortnight ago that per government’s own evaluation, 72 per cent of its electoral promises have been fulfilled, countering an IMANI Ghana’s assessment that pegged government’s delivery on promises at 48 per cent.
Said Shatta Wale: “Let me just give him 15 per cent because people are complaining you know, and me myself every morning the kind of people I have in front of my gate, as I’m even not there now I’m imagining the people there. If I go, it’s like a doctor visiting his patients, you know, school fees, sickness, grandmother, grandfather … On the real, he has tried but please listen to the masses because the masses are complaining too much and me I like any political party that comes to power, me I don’t have any problem because I know how to hustle for myself. You know sometimes you have to pay attention to the streets…”

Oh Shatta! you are charitable. This government has only scored 100% in sloganeering, any other parameters of governance it has done far less than 5%. Name them: 1) Education from basic to the university less than 5%, 2) security less than 5%, corruption perception and allegations 90%, 3) fighting corruption 5%, 4)fighting those who fight corruption 90%+ 5) Harassment of political opponent 90% 6) Presidential travels 90% 7) Wanton disregard for due process 90% So for Shatta to score the Government 15% I find it rather charitable. The next 4 years for Nana Addo will see to the total collapse of moral decency in our public life. Under this regime those who matter are the few clique from Akyem and the sycophants from other areas. Even Ashanti region is suffering. Only the noise maker Wontumi enjoys. Any call made for Government to sit up the response is 'Mahama is corrupt' For the first time in our over 60 years of existence as a nation The State is sponsoring 'EXAMINATION MALPACTICES' GOD SAVE MOTHER GHANA!
U thought looted cash would still be reaching you to ***barred word*** with them.Akuffo will not loot money to fole to you.Tseaas Akufgo Addo is winning hands down.
Ndc ***barred word***.They sprayed you with looted and polluted cash.That has stopped ever since Nana ascended the Throne.This is thrash talk from a street guy.Greedy bastard.Baby with sharp teeth we know your daddy is Ndc. Nana is winning hands down.Shame
Shatta wo ye bue! Couldn't have put it better. People are really suffering and you say, free SHS. People are suffering and you say you have performed 72%. Are you an ***barred word***? 15% is the real mark this dwarf deserve.
For once this guy has said something deep and sensible. It is the masses that put nana there and if you surround yourself with bootlickers who deceive you that you are doing well whilst the masses are complaining then you are living a fuuul's paradise! Even people with jobs are not finding things easy at all so you can imagine those without jobs! People are dying of raw hunger whilst others are committing suicide as they cannot bear the shame of not being able to feed their kids! This is reality. I don't know what alternative reality he faces that convinces him that he is doing well! I am old enough and since constitutional rule this is the hardest Ghana has ever been as far as I can remember. Things only work for him and his family who are the people he has appointed to government!
This is proof that Shatta is intelligent...not a boot licker!
