Why is Kwesi Pratt complaining about the National Cathedral Project. Kwesi Pratt is a stomach journalist. Has Kwesi Pratt ever condemned Ghana Government for sinking millions of tax payers’ money into the annual Hajj operation to Mecca? This same Kwesi Pratt is always quick to condemn Israel and supports the Palestinian cause but will never condemn the slavery of black Africans by Arabs in Mauritania. Why is it so? Your guess is as good as mine. Kwesi Pratt has insatiable appetite for free money and so will do everything to solicit cheap oil money from rich Muslim nations. Shame on Kwesi Pratt. If this is how journalism is meant to be then, I am sorry, journalism is a dangerous profession.

Kwesi Pratt is a major part of the problems of this country.

He is part of the create-loot-n-share
gang. It is hypocritical on his part to shout about the state of affairs.

Sue who for what? We just need discipline in societies. Students in High Schools who go on excursion are not supposed to bath in the pool formed by waterfall. One can easily drown because the falling water churns and make underground current that can suck a poor swimmer. A student from SUTESCO died at Boti Falls.
Accidents do happen but how can the school get money to pay for a sue?

I have not been at the Kintampo Waterfalls before so its difficult for me to judge.However with my experiences in touring Foreign Waterfalls,the natural environment is preserved.What the Authorities at the site could have done was to prevent entry during heavy rainfallor strong winds.It is a natural catastrophy so the Central Government should not be blamed.Have Ghanaians including mr.K.Pratt seen what has happened in Peru?

No they haven't seen what is happening in Peru,where rains have been falling since December,causing almost hundred deaths.
How can they,because in Ghana nothing happens naturally,it is either the government,or witchcraft.
And our so called Pastors and Prophets knows everything before hand,but never prevent it.
It is such a pity that,even young people and so called intellectuals,believe in these Hokuspokus,and think there is nothing we can do to prevent all these tragedies.
What we lack in Ghana is discipline,we are so lawless,that everybody is doing their own thing.
Even in the Animal Kingdom laws are enforced.

Kwesi Pratt is an idiot. How can u sue over act an of nature. Who would have predicted that the tree that had been there for years will fall at that time. It was not a dead tree and the ground had not shifted prior to the fall. Give a microphone to that buck teeth Pratt and he will render an opinion about anything. If the weather forecast had warned of a dangerous storm in the area, then perhaps the park should have closed that day. But the Meteo is ineffective in Ghana. So shut up Pratt.

Can Pratt tell us negligence caused by government and community, and can he also tell us the negligence caused by him, especially for not telling the previous government about this.

I find it interesting that Kwasi Pratt is suddenly striking a different pose on national affairs. What the veteran journalist seems to forget is that all the blame cannot be flung at the politicians. Our journalists play a very huge role in the shenanigans of the politicians. When did any of them take time to study the tourist’s sites and write about them? Journalists are only attracted to politics and sports. I find it very hypocritical that Kwesi Pratt would be attacking the politicians for a calamity. The press or media is far more powerful than the politicians so please Kwasi, tell your friends in the inky fraternity to broaden your scope and stop taking the cheap shots.

Why has there not been safety check up?
All because my people do not value life.We only care about what we can get. I urge the families to sue the authorities. That is the only way to stop these sad and needless death.

Riding Motor Bikes with no crash helmets ... using your mobile phone whilst driving are all recipes for disaster ... broken down vehicles left on our highways and roads unattended ...

Mr Pratt, a thunderstorm is an act of nature, pure and simple, and no Govt can or should be blamed for the unfortunate resulting casualties but the failure of the poorly resourced Ghana Meteorological Service to have foreseen and issue an appropriate or possible warning to Visitors is something which can legitimately be debated and precautions found for the future but to blame a Govt which is barely 2 months in power? All these worthless commentaries on Radio serves only as sound bites and nothing else! Govt help to these victims cab, at least, help bring some closure for the relatives of this sad act of nature.

Point well made Mr. Pratt. We as Ghanaians lack maintenance culture. We sit unconcerned about what brings food and developments to our door steps. These deaths could have been avoided if management of the waterfalls have planned preventive maintenance schedules. Yes, the money government intends to spend on the dead and the injured could have been used to maintain and managed effectively the waterfalls which could have averted
the gory accident.
This is a clarion call on our leaders to stand up to the task to ensure that such misfortunes do not befall any citizen (s)
My condolences to the bereaved families and may the innocent souls of the victims rest in perfect peace.
To the injured, I wish you all a speedy recovery.

Who can plan for natural disasters? How can anyone prevent a tree from falling on a windy and rainy day in a thick forest, Kwasi? If you do not have anything to say please shut your beak and stop blaming governments. Did the school authorities carry out risk assessment based on weather conditions at this time of the year to plan for any eventuality? Kwasi, you should be educating Ghanaians on the need for risk assessments when undertaking such trips rather than blame governments.
