The Village "Town Crier, Kwesi Pratt Blows His Horns Again"

Kwesi Pratt, the so-called Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper has vowed to do everything in his power to ensure Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings never becomes president of Ghana. >>IF AKWESI PRATT IS NOT MERELY DAY DREAMINGLY TALKING NONSENSE, THEN I WILL LIKE TO KNOW HOW HE CAN IMPLEMENT THIS.

Admitting he is just a common journalist and has no power though, Mr Pratt said he is prepared to do anything he can to ensure the former first lady does not become president. >>KAWESI! YOU HAVE SAID IT ALL. WHAT AT ALL CAN YOU DO AS A COMMON HYPOCRITE CORRUPT JOURNALIST TO INTERFERE IN NANA KONADU'S AMBITION?

He was speaking on Peace FM's Kokrokoo Friday, in reaction to reports suggesting that Mrs Rawlings has formally indicated her interest in contesting President Mills come 2012. >>AND SO WHAT, IS MILLS NOT CONTESTABLE OR HE HAS AMMENDED THE NDC CONSTITUTION TO BECOME A LIFE FLAG BEARER?

Explaining his position, Kwesi Pratt said he knew Nana Konadu's past and her way of doing things – recalling the era of Mrs Rawlings as First Lady and some events that occurred around her, including the famous Selassie Djentuh and the 'identification haircut'. >>YOU SEE! HOW FOOLISH THE WHOLE THINK SOUNDS, WHAT IS NEW ABOUT THE PAST OF KONADU THAT WE DON'T KNOW? ARE YOU THE ONLY INHABITANT OF GHANA OR YOU THINK THE REST GHANAIAN OF THE PEOPLE ARE BLIND AND ILLITERATES? PRATT! TELL US RATHER MORE ABOUT YOUR OWN PAST, STARTING FROM ALL THE NONSENSE YOU HAVE BEEN FABRICATING RIGHT FROM YOUR UNDERGRADUATE ERA AT THE KNUST (KUMASI)

Again, Kwesi Pratt said he was threatened by thugs working for the former first lady because he criticised her and questioned whether Konadu was going to rule by the mob and employ such old tricks of threats and intimidation when she is given the nod to rule the Ghanaians. >>AND SO WHAT? THE THUGS FOR MILLS (NDC 2, TEAM B ) ALSO CRASHED RAWLINGS (NDC 1, TEAM A) THUGS AT A RADIO STATION, IS THIS NONSENSE YOUR ONLY COMPLAIN ABOUT NANA KONADU? I AM AFRAID, IF KWESI PRATT IS NOT MAKING A MOCKERY OF HIMSELF BY TRYING TO THROW DUST.

Pratt wondered if she, Konadu wants to be president with that character, questioning if anyone in the land will have peace and comfort. >>KWESI! YOUR PROBLEM IS, YOU ARE AFRAID THAT WITHOUT MILLS YOUR WATER TAP WILL BE TIGHTLY SCREWED. YOU CAN'T GET MONEY AGAIN FOR JUMPING FROM RADIO STATION TO RADIO STATION TALKING NONSENSE. THERE WILL BE NO CHANCE FOR YOU AGAIN TO SLEEP IDLY IN A HOTEL IN SOUTH AFRICA ON THE TICKET OF THE TAX PAYERS. AGAIN YOU CAN'T THE OPPORTUNITY FLYING TO OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES LIKE IVORY COAST etc. ON THE TICKET OF THE TAX PAYERS.

Kwesi Pratt further explained that he believes Konadu's quest to ascend to the presidency is not based on claims that Mills is under performing. This, according to him, is because ex-president Rawlings started his harsh criticisms of the president barely two months into his administration. >>A GOOD ONE THERE! WHY IS THE HYPOCRITE MENTIONING SOMETHING ABOUT THE NON-PERFORMANCE OF MILLS? EXACTLY AND VERY CLEARLY THIS IS HOW 80% THE GHANAIAN POPULATION IS SEEING MILLS GOVERNANCE. I WONDER WHY PRATT IS JUST BEATING ABOUT THE BUSH WITHOUT GOING STRAIGHT TO THE POINT TO ACCOST THAT MILLS IS NEITHER DELIVERING NOR PERFORMING. "THERE IS NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE." THIS IS THE REASON WHY AGYEMANG RAWLINGS WANTS TO OUTPLAY THE NDC 2 TO RELEASE THE PEOPLE OF GHANA FROM AGONY.

He reminded Nana Konadu that even if she wins the flag bearer-ship position of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) – a situation Pratt views as very unlikely to happen – she would have to depend on the achievements of the Mills-Mahama administration to succeed. >>OH! KWESI, I THOUGHT YOU ARE GOING TO MOVE MOUNTAINS TO COUNTERACT KONADU'S INVOLVEMENT

He added that Konadu, by her quest for power, is courting disaster which is neither in her own interest nor that of the party and urged all who love the former first lady to give her a sound advice since she is going to be disgraced should she carry on with her desire. >>WHY SHOULD OTHER PEOPLE ADVISE KONADU, YOU HAVE PROMISED TO USE YOUR USUAL HOOLIGANISM TO BULLY KONADU. ISN'T IT?

Pratt: Konadu won't even get 10 per cent, he assured, adding that Konadu's quest for power “… is based on an empty ambition.” >>KWESI! ASSURING THAT KONADU WON'T GET 10% VOTES MEANS TO ME PERSONALLY YOU ARE EVEN CAPABLE OF CONVINCING THE PEOPLE OF VOLTA REGION NOT TO CAST THEIR VOTES FOR KONADU, AM I RIGHT? KWESI! YOU CAN CRACK BETTER JOKES THAN „BOB OKALA“.

“It has no relevance to our development, no relevance to anything…” Pratt insisted. >>“RELEVANCE HERE RELEVANCE THERE“. WHAT RELEVANCE HAS MILL TO OUR DEVELOPMENT? NOT EVEN A COMMON NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE IS WORKING EFFECTIVELY IN GHANA! THE GHANAIAN PEOPLE ARE DYING BECAUSE OF LACK OF PROPER HEALTH CARE. KWESI! START TO THINK RIGHT AND DEPOSE YOUR HYPOCRITE AND SELFISH WAY OF THINKING

Pratt: LAMENTED “I'm getting fed up. >>FOOLISH TALK! KWESI PRATT GETTING FED UP OR "A BAG OF RICE FALLEN DOWN IN CHINA", MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. WHO ARE YOU, KWESI PRATT? STOP BEING CONTUMACIOUS AND ANTAGONIST.

I SOMETIMES THINK THIS GUY IS BEMUSED.
