Hello Bonso,
You would have done yourself a lot of good if you had articulated the reasons why you find anything here as nonsense. Kwesi Pratt is a fountain of wisdom. It is not for nothing that his Newspaper is called "The Insight Newspaper"!

Insightful indeed. Did Kwesi Pratt give you some of the money Gbagbo gave him and Archer when he was in his bunker surrounded by bags of stolen Ivorian dollars?

Insightful indeed. Did Kwesi Pratt give you some of the money Gbagbo gave him and Archer when he was in his bunker surrounded by bags of stolen Ivorian dollars?
Your writing was as poor and shallow as the Insight newspaper, with a circulation of 25 copies in Accra.
Kwesi Pratt and your self have helped NDC to win power to rule for 25 years.
Now, use your wisdom to help the NDC Government to solve real problems such as reported here below:
"Ghana drops to 114th in latest global competitiveness report

The ranking is based on 12 pillars namely, Institutions, Infrastructure, macroeconomic environment, health and primary education, higher education and training, goods market efficiency, labour market efficiency, financial market development, technological readiness, market size, business sophistication and innovation
Under the category “institutions”, Ghana’s ratings improved from 75th to 70th out of 144 countries. Ghana was rated 107th in Irregular Payments and Bribes- dropping from 115th rated last year.
Strength of Investor Protection dropped marginally from 39th to 41st this year, but is still rated best by the world economic forum (WEF).
Under the infrastructure Subcategory, Ghana ranked 109th. Availability of Fixed telephone lines continued to rate the worst, ranking 128th.
Under the Macroeconomic subcategory, the much talked about budget deficit took the place of inflation as the worst rated.
Ghana placed last but one globally, ranking 147th a fall from 98th in the previous year.
Gross national savings worsened from 92nd position to 140th. Inflation also worsened from 118th to 128th this year.
Ghana was ranked 122nd in the Health and Primary education category. The business impact of Malaria rated the worst in this subcategory. The nation ranked 134th globally.

This was followed by the Burden of Customs procedures which dropped from 115th to 109th.
The labour market efficiency saw Ghana record an impressive ranking in the women in labour force. We ranked 11th globally. Reduncy cost however remained on the high as Ghana’s position worsened from 135th to 139th.
The report indicated an improvement in the financial market. Availability of venture capital funding saw an impressive leap from 116th to 67th.
Ranking for Innovation subsector improved from 95th to 64th this year.
Access to finance continued to be the most problematic factor affecting business in Ghana. Taxes took the place of corruption, placing number two, and poor work ethic in national labour was rated third.

Magical piece, no wonder people like us always tried to listen to programmes like Alhaji and Alhaji because of Pratt. I remember in one of my visits to Bimbilla i was sad that i could not listen to the pogramme on saturday and had to rely on my friend in tamale to hear what was discussed and what Pratt said? and when I was told Pratt was not on the panel i said then i did not lose anything after all. That is how some of us see this man called Pratt, so knowledgeable, honest and logical.
Such nonsense
