When asked what measures he would take to rectify the situation, the 59-year-old artiste proposed a drastic solution that involved incarcerating and, alarmingly, executing those who have contributed to the economic crisis while living lavishly at the expense of the masses.

The man who often flaunts his big family said:

"You've got to show them. Lock some folks up; some people have got to be shot," Rockstone stated, acknowledging the extreme nature of his comments but justifying them by citing the devastating impact of poverty on human lives.

For him, his suggestions were not so drastic looking at the effects of bad leadership on the ordinary citizens.

"In saying this, it might sound too drastic to you, but do you realise how many people poverty kills? And you've got folks out here living the life and living lavishly. Listen, when somebody dies because they cannot afford hospital treatment, that's murder," he added.
