Audio Attachment:Kwesi Pratt on Radio Gold |
Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr has commended President Akufo Addo for giving a ‘very matured’ speech at the launch of the free SHS policy.
President Akufo Addo during the launch of the free SHS programme at the West African Secondary School (WASS) at Adenta in Accra on Tuesday urged politicians to take politicking out of the free SHS policy.
Hours before the official launch, Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia took to his facebook page to deride critics of the free SHS program (especially members of the National Democratic Congress) who had described the policy as an "election gimmick", a "hoax" or "fraud" .
In the post, Dr Bawumia said: "we thank God. They said it was impossible. They said it was an election gimmick. They said it was a hoax. Today, the impossible has become possible. Today, Free Senior High School education is here. We thank God for the vision and fortitude of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo... God bless our homeland Ghana”
But the post appears not to have gone down well with Mr Pratt.
He cannot comprehend why the President asked that free SHS should not be politicised, yet the Vice President and other NPP communicators went on to engage in politicking and propaganda.
“I must say this…the President’s speech in launching the programme was extremely matured…I heard the President say that nobody should reduce this SHS programme to a propaganda war….unfortunately, it does not appear that many people in his government listened to him…because in that very moment, Vice President Bawumia, party communicators were dissing everybody; calling them all kinds of names…they didn’t listen to their own president and that is a problem…” he said during a panel discussion on Radio Gold's Alhaji and Alhaji, Saturday.

Massa wei nkoaa de, over the bar. Try to reason small and analyse issues critically wae.
This man prat, thinks he's the only sensible person here in GHANA.Yet in time past, some "ordinary people" as he calls Ghanaians floor him always. When he starts singing praises on you,then he wants to come to the government and Nana Addo. Opportunity first class....but this around........na lie......
Pratt is a real prat. Where in Dr Bawumia's post did he mention NDC? Who the cap fits. Allah bless Nana/Bawumia. Great leaders for Ghana.
Presidents message can be accessed and read anytime. Even 100years from now. Mr. Pratt you have no case please at least Dr. Dawumia has soft teeth thank youuuu
look at him, ***barred word*** pratt. you voted against free SHS. Why are you now turning around as if you were for it. Shame on you.
What is wrong with what Dr Bawmia wrote? He is only making reference to those who said the free shs will not be possible. He never mentioned any political party name. Even those individuals who were against it names were not mentioned. What is wrong Pratt? Don't he knows he is aging. An old man like Kwesi Pratt who has lied throughout his youthful age should by now trying uniting Ghanaians instead of this divisive tactics. Doesn't Pratt sleep? Always on radio from morning to evening throughout Monday to Sunday. I don't blame him after NDC government has settled him and his household. The son now well placed at bank of Ghana.
There must be something in the water offered to esp him during this program, that stunts his maturing process. Get the.....out of our
"... they did not listen to their OWN president...". What an impuudence! Who has appointed you to adjudicate on behalf of Ghanaians? "...was extremely MATURED..." Who has appointed you as an ummpire? To me you are not a recognized social commentator! Enough is enough with you!
