Well said, Kwesi Pratt.
I don't understand what Kwesi is alluding to. Has there been public non political appointments that has been tagged for party members only? I hope that's not true. That will be very counter productive
The concept of Political appointment is the most dangerous deceptive practice of democracy that breeds corruption, conspiracies and abuses with atrocities that leads to failure and is responsible for Africans poverty which ma ...

Hahahahaaa… Mahama’s first term… It was Bagbin who was complaining about Mahama family and friends…. No it is Kwesi Pratt. Smh
Bagging complained until Akufo Addo came and made Mahama look like a Saint. The rest is now history
He did same to Akufu Addo and you were happy.
Kwesi sent a list which were rejected like others.
EVEN SEX PREDATORS LIKE PRO GYAMPOH HAVE BEEN APPOINTED BY JOHN FORD AIRBUS DRUNKMANI...STOP WORRYING YOURSELF, MASSA KWESI....TWEAA.

John Mahama is appointing his people to positions like PROs/communication directors in government agencies which is not right and I believe that is what Kwesi Pratt is complaining about.
@Batuta. If you want people who can disseminate the right information about your policies, what calibre of people or individuals will you appoint to the PRO/COMMUNICATION agencies? Those you deem to share your beliefs and pol ...

And Nana Addo didn't do worst than this? Were you not in this country?
You are right, but Mahama was not elected to repeat the wrong doings of Akufo Addo.
He was elected to re-set the country and yet he's doing exactly what Akufo Addo did in terms of appointments.

very stupid comments fro an insult. ls this the first time you are seeing this ? even wontumi who couldn’t speak a single english word dismissed public servants in the 8 years of tyrannical rule
NPP BROUGHT ABOUT ALL THESE POLICAL APPOINTMENT 2017 NOT NDC 2925
Another Foolish news by NPP GHANAWEB
Mr. John Mahama, the most honest president who has the nation at heart said he realised his mistakes in his previous time as president and is now correcting those mistakes and what is Mr. Pratt saying?
Are the ndc people not Ghanaians?
Why did you give your daughter a big post at your company? Foolish
Do mind him, he has his daughter employed at the vice president's office but still doing this.
That has been the tradition unfortunately. NPP is even worse when it comes to cross party appointments
Exactly. Where Was Pratt 2017????
He was asleep
I can see most people did not read the whole story.
The heading is misleading and politically twisted

THAT IS WHY THEY WERE TAG AKYEM MAFIA AND NPP WAS VOTED OUT. MR PRATT DOES NOT WANT PRESIDENT MAHAMAH TO MAKE SUCH STUPID MISTAKE.
Too many fools in Ghana especially in the NDC. Toilet self is better and useful than clueless and senseless John Ford Airbus Deadgoat Dumsor Mahama. The worse is yet to come from the NDC
Hypocrite Pratt. As if it only happened under Mahama, like ur ugly dogta would have gotten job at Bawumia's office. Or don't you think so??? Foolish Hypocrite just get the f*k out!
But your daughter just about 30 years how did he get there??? Through hard work? My foot
Hypocrite. Your daughter is in the vps office. If you want appointment say it and stop beating about the bush.
The whole thing is a national disgrace. They need to stop this nonsense
As for this one, I agree with Kwesi Pratt. The partisanship appointments is too much under Mahama. So qualified people with no political affiliation are not being appointed to public sector jobs? Even Pratt who is an NDC sym ...

Wisdom does not reside in your head alone. We will continue to give appointment to qualified party members and there is nothing you can do about it.

So in Ghana now, nobody expresses an opinion. In power, insults. In opposition insults. Is Ghana a jungle?
My daughter is already in so close the door- Kwesi Pratt
Look at his teeth like a garden fork. Shut up
But his daughter have been appointed despite the fact that she is not an ndc member. Ghana hmmmmmm, we the masses are finished in the hands of these gangsters called politicians and social commentators.

Stupid ugly old man keep quiet there idiots
I don't suppose you have just arrived from Mars. Send the same "stupid" message to Donald Trump.
Politics in Ghana is a scam and democracy in Ghana is also fake. Ghanaian politicians are selfish, deceptive, hypocritical and corrupt
Kwesi are you expecting an appointment?. Is madam Juantua a member of the NDC or your daughter? Please cool down your temper.
Plus Alan Kyeremanteng and others too.

Foolish hypocritical man. Your own daughter is benefitting from the same appointments.
Kwesi Pratt is he a stranger in this country. Why should he used the word stupid and foolish on JDM. Is he the only wise man. He shld mind his his words.
But prat daughter got an appointment at the vice president office,does it mean her daughter is an NDC member?
Prat just want to trend. Please forgive him
Because her daughter got some appointment without been seen anywhere in NDC T-shirt so he wants more. Those of us that cannot pass anywhere without people attaching NDC to us, are fool right? Neutral indeed.
Funny how tongue -tied this geezer was in the last 8 years.Suddenly,he can now see clearly and is singing like a canary. Rasclaat indeed!
Ndc members are not Ghanaians?

Uncle Kwesi. That is what NPP did. They employed party Master Degree Holders over PhDs to teach in our universities. NPP rather set the standard for NDC.
We will do what we want.
The only reset Ghana need today is the return to military rule by a young Officer to work closely with Capt. Ibrahim Traore of BF, Col. Hashimi of Mali and Gen. Chianti of Niger to change the narrative of African politics.

You better sit up
