Renowned Ghanaian Comedian, Kwaku Sintim Misa, popularly known as KSM has sparked controversy by suggesting that Blacks are defective.

The satirist and talk show host in tweeted on Tuesday that God must recall all blacks from the world and fix our defect.

His comment comes in the wake of the debate over the construction of the National Cathedral in the capital, Accra.

It is, however, not known if KSM’s tweet is connected to the raging controversy over the construction of the national cathedral.

His tweet divided opinions on social media as some supported his claims while others described his comment as demeaning and disrespectful.

Background

The Akufo Addo led administration has come under a barrage of public criticism after it emerged that several buildings including the Scholarship Secretariat, Passport Office at Ridge and nine bungalows occupied by Appeals Court Judges are to be demolished as government is set to begin the construction of the House of Prayer.

Scores of other structures within that enclave including the Judicial Training School are also expected to be pulled down to make way for the 5000 seater state-of-the-art cathedral which will also include a Bible Museum and a Documentation Centre.

Following that, President Akufo-Addo is expected to hold a breakfast meeting with a section of the clergy today to address the controversy surrounding the siting of the national cathedral to be built by his administration.

Today’s meeting will among other things, look into the concerns raised by the public with the construction at the proposed site and the various alternatives to the siting of the facility.
