The managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr has said some boys attacked his car at Dome, a suburb of Accra, Friday.
According to him, it took the intervention of some 'responsible' people in the crowd who forced those boys to apologise to him.
Contributing to a panel discussion on Radio Gold's Alhaji and Alhaji, Kwesi Pratt condemned threats being issued out to people who spoke against a particular political party; adding "we should build a democracy regardless of one's political affiliation"
Below is what he said:
“…I stayed at work till very late yesterday…I got calls from my friends and they said where are you and I said look I am at work. They said are you alone? and I said yes I am alone. Are you driving home alone? and I said yes I am driving home alone and they said no, no, no, you shouldn’t do that. It is dangerous; the situation out there is dangerous and I was wondering; how dangerous can this be?
So I left Abelemkpe (a suburb of Accra); around midnight; driving alone to my house. I passed through several NPP jubilants; nothing happened until I got somewhere in Dome and then a couple of boys; maybe not more than 5 started banging on my car; kicking and so on. And I said my goodness what is this so I parked the car and I came out of the car and I said what the hell is going on here? Now do you know what happened? Apparently more responsible persons in the crowd came out and they forced those young men to apologise. I was so very impressed that there were responsible persons in that crowd of jubilants who quickly brought some discipline and compelled these young men to apologise for what they had done and I felt so proud as a Ghanaian…
A friend of mine who is a leading figure in the NDC called me last night and he said to me that he has had three death threats on his phone…it may not be from the NPP but it should never happen that because a party has lost elections any of its members should receive death threats; it should never happen; that’s a blot on our democracy. We should build a democracy where we are free to disagree and campaign against each other…I hope we will get there…"

This man should give us a break as he is of no importance in Ghana politics anymore. you talk as if u hold the destiny of man. have u seen how God has raised Nana Addo despite all ur ***barred word*** n senseless things u said n wrote about him? Shame unto u.
I don't believe a word from this serial liar. Who has time for a wicked and double-tongued man like you? You just want to make sure you're in the news. NPP supporters don't have time for you. You lived your life on public funds from corrupt officials of all shapes. Get lost.
PROPAGANDIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This time ye and ya ndc plans and plars against His Excellency W.A.D Nana Akufo-Addo ain't gonna work and this time we gonna match ye guys boot for boot
Mr Pratt,you said it was late in the night so how did they know it was you in the car? don't you think maybe they were just banging on the car out of excitement as it normally happens when you are driving through a crowd jubilating. if they really meant harm they would have mobbed you as soon as you came out from the car but instead they apologized. please we are all ghanamma(Ghanaian) let not build a hill out of an ant mold all in the name of politics. Ghana existed long before NDC and NPP.
Kwasi, the only 'very' responsible and 'know all' Ghanaian.can do and say 'anything' just to buttress his 'phobia' for Nana Addo's government. He has started, let discerning people 'watch' him. He is afraid the 'evil' he meant for others may come to him.
those who are going to enjoy the land cruiser v8 will not attack any NDC sympathizer. attack on any one is against the law. don't make a fuull of yourself and get locked behind bars.
Why this man keeps on lying to the public? Eiiiiiiiiii please try to put an end to this childish lifestyle. Ghanaians has grown up wai.
This is simply a lie. That too known, corrupt and bragging Journalist should bow his head in shame for what he said would happen to NPP before the elections. God has proved his power and vindicated Nana Addo for all the lies and false statements made against him You Kwasi claim NPP would have heart attack and he is now claiming people attacked him. Lies upon lies. He better get ready to cough out the Wayomi money
KWESI IF U HAVE NOTHING TO SAY TO COVER UP YOUR SMOOTHNESS LEVEL PLS. DONT COOK STORIES. WE KNOW THE SOURCE OF YOUR CAR SHAME. YOU ARE GOING TO VOMIT WHAT WAYOMI GAVE YOU VERY SOON.
Masa this is no news. Some of us have experienced similar "attacks" from jubilant supporters of the npp.
