It appears that, the senior journalist and Editor of the Insight Newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jr is proactive in National Democratic Congress (NDC) matters than Solomon Nkansah, the elected National Communications Officer of the NDC.

His reaction to NDC critics is overwhelmingly unbelievable. The senior journalist has reached an acme of his career where he would be best described as an oracle for nation building and journalism but some of his actions has downplayed his ability to help build a better Ghana like the party he is preoccupied with defending mantra says.

I was in total shock when the Editor of the struggling Insight newspaper attacked Rev. Professor Emmanuel Martey, the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Chairman of the Christian Council and also the Chairman of the National Peace Council as someone who “lacks the wisdom of God.” Is that the degree to which money could make one sink into the gutters? Kwesi Pratt made that attack after comment by the Presby Moderator that the NDC government should concentrate on resolving the energy crisis rather than stoking an inexistent religious conflict and that if given the chance could solve the energy crisis in 3 months with all the loans contracted in the past 6 years.

Kwesi Pratt, the truth is, Ghanaians are tired of NDC’s bemoaning of the problems in Ghana. We elected the party not to vuvuzela the known problems in the country to us; we elected them to solve it! The level of corruption, graduate unemployment, unbearable economic hardship, abuse of public office and the absurd create, loot and share the country is subjected to will make a dumb struggle to voice out ‘maabr3!’

Now, anyone who voices out on national issues is labelled by NDC sympathizers as a Mahama ‘hater.’ Bishop Dag Heward Mills, Dr. Mensa Otabil, among countless Men of God have been washed by the NDC washing-machine and given media-unfriendly names as a result of them making their concerns known. As concerned citizens, who have the nation at heart, and as every human being is a political animal, issues of the nation would be addressed and the unfortunate thing in the country now is that, nothing seems to be working and going well with the administration.

Indeed Kwesi Pratt is a known fighter for this new dispensation but Ghana is at the verge of collapse and it will take objective-patriots to criticize and praise the government to make the hue and cries of the grass root heard in the Flagstaff House and not a person who has roasted and eaten his eyes (Akan proverb).

Kwesi Pratt has given his word to ensure that the NDC remains in power whether good or bad in 2016 so it is not surprising what he is doing but his incessant hypocrisy is just too much.
