The Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr has slammed George Andah for making ‘discriminatory’ comments against his close contender Madam Hannah Tetteh.
The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary Candidate for the Awutu Senya West constituency, George Andah threw a challenge to the NDC candidate and Minister of Foreign Affairs to produce her husband.
Mr Andah at a mini rally at Bawjiase in the Central region invited his wife to the stage and introduced her to party supporters; who had gathered at the rally amidst cheers and applauds.
“I came here with my wife, and children. Please tell Hanna to also come and show us her husband,” he said.
Kwesi Pratt Jnr, speaking to the issue during a panel discussion on Radio Gold’s Alhaji and Alhaji, described the comments as discriminatory and unfair especially to women who are divorced or not married.
According to him, “we know that she (Hannah Tetteh) is divorced: are we saying that women who have divorced have no rights to take part in politics, are we going to discriminate against divorcees…I am so so disgusted….Are we saying that women who are not married are hopeless? So if a woman is not married she is useless? You can disagree with her…but to attack her that she cannot produce a husband…I feel shocked and sad because I had a lot of respect for George Andah, I think he is one of the finest…so I am so shocked that this fine gentleman has sank to this this level. What degeneration? Is this the level that our politics is sinking into? I feel terrible about this”

Kwesi, its people like you who has shaped the political turf this way. If in the past you guys have made comments on issues instead of personal we wouldn't have been here. Is this the first time you are hearing something of this sort in Ghana politics...?
Kwesi Pratt, the mostwise has spoken. The storehouse of intelligence in Ghana has spoken.
the uselllesss pratt is part of the decay he is complaining about.
hypocrisy at its best.Kwasi Pratt is sinking in relevance. after all he can be corrupted and Ndc has succeeded in doing so. YOU WERE NOT DISGUSTED WHEN MAHAMA SAID NANA ADDO WILL DE-STOOL CHIEFS WHO DISAGREE WITH HIM. YOU HAVE REALLY LOST DIRECTION
i WANT TO KNOW WHETHER IT IS NOW A CRIME NOT TO BE MARRIED, BUT TO TELL ANDAH THAT IT IS BETTER FOR HANNAH TETTEH TO BE SINGLE WITH CHILDREN THAN TO BE MARRIED TO A PROSTITUTED AS A WIFE. ANKOMEAH HAS NO WIFE, NO CHILDREN BUT HE WAS IN PARLAMENT
When I saw Kwesi Pratt at the CPP manifesto launch I laugh aaaaaa enter my Ford Expedition. Who is Kwesi Pratt trying to hoodwink. Even a kindergarten kid knows that Uncle Pratt is a dyed in the wool NDC, yet he shamelessly tries to portray himself as a CPP man. Mr Pratt, the earlier you stopped this dishonest behaviour the better for your own sinking image.
Sad, Isn't it? We call this Propagandist journalist. At least the likes of Bernard Avle and Kweku Baako are very consistent. Ask Kwesi Pratt where His children are working.
The country is like what it is now because people like Kwasi pratt don't speak the truth, but hid behind a political party and pretend that they are social commentators but they get what ever they get from that political party, He man should give us a break some of us we know his track record.
Ebeii Kwesi Pratt, this gross display of hypocrisy and dishonesty on your part is sickening. Why are you not talking about what Hannah Tetteh said about George Andah? Uncle Kwesi please stop following your stomach.
I don't see anything wrong with what he said. Show your husband too has he ask too much? Since 2008 no one knows or have seen her husband before. I see her like a lesbian. She is a tomboy. If you want to do politics we have to know somethings about you. Do you people who what Donald Trump and hillary Clinton are saying to each other? Do you know what questions they ask each other? This is politics anything goes. U.S is the number one country in the world what they are saying and asking each other in their campaign we have not done even half. So leave him alone. What I will even say to him is, more fire ..
