It emerged yesterday that the controversial radio presenter-Blakk Rasta who was recently put before Ghana’s parliament for comments he made on his Taxi Driver radio show on Hitz Fm had resigned—and today, we get to hear why he decided to end his service at Multimedia, after 8 years…
According to Blakk Rasta, Multimedia did not really support him when he was invited by parliament—and he seems right on this, because an employer must at least give guidance and support to an employee in such difficult times.
Blakk Rasta told NewsOne that;
“When I was invited by Parliament, my employers did not even sit me down before the invitation so we plan on what exactly we should say there and how things should go, they did not get a lawyer for me, nothing; nothing like that happened. Even my HR who was there knew next to nothing about the incident when he was questioned about the issue and what exactly I had said.
“I did not get any support from Multimedia, which I thought was unfair. I thought once I was with you, I should get your support. Even if you do not agree with what I said, you can go and say you do not agree and that you are pleading for clemency. But that was not done and I even had to look for my own lawyer.
