Reggae artist Blakk Rasta has voiced concerns over comedian Funny Face's continued possession of his driver's license despite his well-known battle with mental health issues.Blakk Rasta questioned why authorities allowed Funny Face to retain his driving privileges, suggesting that the nation had failed in ensuring his full recovery before granting such permissions.

In an interview on the "Urban Blend" show on 3FM, Blakk Rasta expressed disappointment in how mental health is handled in Ghana.He highlighted the disparity in treatment, suggesting that if the accident involved government officials, the response would have been different.Blakk Rasta placed blame on the state for permitting Funny Face to drive under the circumstances.

"Our nation has failed the citizenry again. We do not take mental health seriously and it hurts me. Funny Face will walk free anywhere he goes. Once it is proven that he was suffering from a certain kind of mental sickness, my brother, what should we have done?" Blakk Rasta questioned, emphasising the need for stricter measures in such cases.

He further criticised the lack of action taken regarding Funny Face's driver's licence following his mental health struggles.Blakk Rasta suggested that the first step should have been to revoke his licence and ensure proper psychiatric care.

"Funny Face had been to a psychiatric hospital a couple of times. Did they recommend that his driver’s licence should be taken away? We have failed the little children involved in the accident. We have failed Funny Face himself," Blakk Rasta lamented.

The incident in question occurred on Sunday, 24th March 2023, when Funny Face reportedly hit five pedestrians with his Hyundai Atos at Kasoa, Kakraba Junction.While there were no fatalities, the victims sustained significant injuries.

The criticism from Blakk Rasta adds to the ongoing debate about mental health awareness and support systems in Ghana.The concern is not just about Funny Face's situation but also about broader issues surrounding mental health care and public safety.
