Kwesi Pratt: Calls for probe into Mills’ death mischievous

Kwesi Pratt Jnr., has described as “mischievous”, calls for investigations into the death of former President John Mills.

The call for the late president’s cause of death was resurrected amidst the first year anniversary celebration of his passing.

Pro-opposition pressure group Young Patriots said it was important for the nation to get to the bottom of the late president’s death, especially, since certain accounts by family members and government officials were at variance.

Kwesi Pratt Jnr., however, says there is “no basis for that call” since “an autopsy was conducted by qualified medical practitioners in the presence of his brother representing his family”.

“This is clearly mischievous”, the Insight Newspaper Managing Editor told XYZ Breakfast Show host Moro Awudu.

Mr. Pratt wondered why the calls are being made by non-family members despite the fact that neither the pathologists nor the late President’s family have raised any reservations about the stated cause of death.

“Who has the locus to be calling for an investigation into his death? What is the basis of that call?” He wondered.

He says “we should show some respect to the family of Prof. Mills. We should show some respect to his brother. We should show some respect to the Professor himself”.

He wondered why similar calls are not being made in respect of late leaders such as Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Prof. Kofi Abrefa Busia and I. K Acheampong amongst others.
