Mr Dramani Mahama, Asiedu Nketia, Sammy Gyamfi and other NDC would have massacred President Akuffo Addo alive when they were in opposition for insensitive behaviour. Why use Helicopter when he could've used a vehicle.

As for Kwesi Tsintsinto Pratt his hour of punishment, suffocation, suffering and shame will come at the right time. Pratt will go down as the Ghanaian who will see the real effects of Hell and feel the painful pangs of the devil on his body. Hypocrisy, hatred, lies, evils and envy of fellow human beings will certainly never go unpunished. Sammy Gyamfi will go through a cycle of painful incidents and sleepless nights as well. GOD IS WIDE AWAKE. TIME WILL TELL.

Why then not suggest that he should have walked? Pratt is just a useless fool who wants to be heard always on unnecessary issues. How many times did he Fly to different places in Ghana and elsewhere in a Military Helicopter or Plane? Why didn’t he walk with Rawlings? Prattle Pratt should consider the number of times Efo Julor John Rawlings used an Airforce Plane to Fly to his friend and an equally and much more murderous that Efo. Did Pratt ever asked Efo Julor John Rawlings to walk or drive to the many places in Ghana that he visited even at a time that such areas were not flooded? This Pratt is just a peace of SHIT with no Gumption. It will do Ghanaians and Ghanaweb a lot of good if that nonentity is blocked from its Website.

President John Mahama was insensitive for using a Helicopter to watch the blood. He shd have gone on the ground early the following morning as a follow-up. That is what Kwesi Pratt is saying.

How do you appreciate a problem of this scale? By walking through a few neighbouring towns or communities? You rather missed the mark uncle Pratt. The assembly and the dce and mce will do the walking on the spots visits and report. The disaster occurred in 6 regions just calculate how many days ghe president need to walk through all the regions. Bawumia has nothing doing officially so could easy portray himself as caring but the the volta dam spillage occurred did you see him? You know how many days Akuffo Addo took in visiting one place just to tell them he need not be there in the first place because they didn't vote for him?

Why are people seeing the aerial inspection of the Prez as just some mere leisure - pleasure funfair thing ? Did we know some technical engineers onboard as well? I don't expect Massa Pratt to also join these kind of people criticising the Prez. Being airborne ONLY gives us a proper view to offer a permanent and practical solutions to the flooding menace

Ghanaians our insensitive wicked greedy president John Dramani Mahama and his senseless arrogance gangs intentionally organized National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving to honour and celebrate flooding destruction of Accra,killing peoples,destroying properties and businesses decided to sing both showers of blessings and it is well with my soul from the song when peace is like a river.We saw video of them dancing and jubilating wearing victory white dresses because their wicked and diabolical plan succeeded.The cancellation of garbage collection contracts and small garbage collection individuals don’t have access to garbage dumping sites and up dumping garbage into gutters and rivers and water ways causing floods for donor countries sympathetic towards Ghana to donate millions of dollars for them to steal.Our senseless president John Dramani Mahama saw his blessing in the flood waters that has killed many people,properties destroyed and no where to sleep.Is a blessing to him because it is one of his evil plan deeds.

I don't agree with you at all Kwesi Pratt.How else could the President have seen the extent of the devastation of the floods, if not for a Helicopter tour. Secondly does the President need to be personally everywhere, at best some one or two places; this solves nothing. In my view this tour will inform the President as to how to get all the necessary agencies working to help affected people.

The aerial tour by president Mahama in a helicopter of the areas in impacted by the flooding should not be criticized by Ghanaians . It afforded the president the opportunity to view a vast area affected by the flooding should which he could not have done by walking through these areas . However the president should have followed his helicopter ride by visiting some of the neighborhoods to interact with the victims.

Nana Kwesi Pratt, or Uncle, you comment on many things and, sometimes you make some sense. However, this your comment doesn't make sense at all. You are not making sense, probably you haven't come out or seen any of the reportage on this massive flooding that has engulfed Accra. Or you wanted the President to get drowned in one of the fast moving water on the surface of all Accra streets. Or probably you wanted the President to turn into a Tarsan and walk on the surface of the fast moving water to demonstrate his concern for the affected populace. If you just wanted to say something just to appease your friends in the NPP, my friend, you haven't made sense at all this time. If you are saying this to an Assembly Member or a Parliamentarian, I may agree with you. But to try to limit the President to an MCE, for not wearing wellington boots to trek the streets full of water overflowing gutters in a show of support or sympathy and rather using a helicopter, is a misplaced commentary.
Like you would tell someone who have made no sense in a speech, I am also telling you to think before you comment. Thank you.

You are mediocre! Your sense is very little like that of a fowl, a chicken. You did wish the president to have walked on the surface of the flooded waters. Everyone who is with the opinion that the president should walked through the flooded waters to sympathize with the population is just doing propaganda. Those people are just being mischievous and evil. Period!!

Ghanaians by now know that their President does not care about the pains they are going through. When fighting broke out near his home town and some citizens run to Ivory Coast,he never visited the area.People in Accra and many communities have been hit by floods,and instead of visiting them on foot,he is in the air to know extent of damage.Meanwhile Dr Bawumia was walking in the streets consouling affected people and trying to help with the little he has..Disasters happen every year, but Ghanaians are amazed of the number of disaters which they have experienced in the last one and half years .Something is seriously wrong in the country.

Would other also blame him for not been abale to visit them? At least the aerial view gave him an idea of the extend of the flooding ,he would understand when budget is presented,at l3ast it 3nabl3s him to see all. Other officials are there tio on the ground .

Why must everything in Ghana be politically motivated? It's time we put country/nation first and stop the partisan political nonsense. Flying in a helicopter gives the president a better and broader view of the damages caused. For those who can remember, the USA president toured the New Orleans during the "Katrina" floods in a helicopter - it made sense; no one complaned.

That's your personal view, Kwesi Prat! In a situation where there is devastating flooding, the best way to assess the situation is by aerial view and not by foot. What the President sought to do, is to see the extent of the flooding, identify major affected areas and take appropriate action. He has Ministers, MMDCEs on the ground to interact with the masses and to link up for support. Let's STOP blaming the President for everything!!!

I doubt if Mr. Kwesi Pratt really spoke this. What is technically wrong about the President taking an aerial view of the damage the rains did to residents of Accra? If he went up into the skies for a view of the devastated capital, that was so much in order. Watching the entire scenery, first, from the air before stepping on the ground to commiserate with affected families and assess the situation thereafter makes much more sense than just thrusting himself onto the people. Is it not wiser to have a much broader view of the situation before narrowing down to the nitty-gritty? Mr. Pratt, you really got this completely wrong.
