Pratt is dirty. He betrayed a lot of his fellow journalists during PNDC satanic revolution. He is a worshiper of Karl Marx and his inspirational book is 'Communist Manifesto'.He is unhappy dirty guy.

Pratt criticized Ken Ofori Atta just because he wanted to be heard too. There is no substance in his criticism against Ken Ofori Atta, our able Finance Minister.

Somebody should tell this communist worshiper to come to Jesus Christ. Christ Jesus loves him no matter what he has done.

Francis Kwarteng, do you really have educational history? You are a terrible writer. Who are you trying to impress?

Trust me, you'll never get through my course. You lack reasoning and above all, deficient in exegetical explanatory.

We are reminded of the fella just the other day who wanted people to "build the Nation" with the fear of God.

Then the "Boigney-National-Cathedral" for Ghana.

Our take is, some people, politicians and "intellectuals" included, unfortunately, either have no sense, or do not care about Unitary Ghana where it really matters.

READ: "...Ghana is not a Christian theocracy. Neither does Ghana belong to any particular religion or faith—in other words...Ghana and its national constitution celebrate religious pluralism...Tolerance is therefore a major national commodity we cannot afford to have slaughtered on the altar of religious supremacy...we also believe Mr. Ofori-Attah reserves the right to celebrate his religion and faith,...but he must at least be aware of, or sensitive to, the religions and faiths of others who may not necessarily share his...This constitutes a hallmark of intellectual, emotional, and spiritual maturity...".

WE SAY: 'Nuff said.

Was Pratt on hard drugs when he criticized Ofori-Attah’s christianized budget?

By: Kwarteng, Francis

Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.

But, did Mr. Ofori-Attah reserve the right to make Jesus Christ part of his presentation given that parliament is a secular body, given that the national constitution is a secular—and not a religious—text, given that Ghana is a secular state, and given that Ghanaians who are the beneficiaries of the budget statement belong to various religious faiths?

It is very disheartening that certain folks with high intellectual prowess cannot discern how appropriately to invoke the "Separation of Religion from Politics" Constitutional requirement.

The fact that we have a secular Government, and Religion is supposed to be the individual's private matter that should not be publicly displayed to inconvenience others, or to impose a parochial view on the Nation, Society, or the Community, the mere citing of one's faith as an inspiration to do good does not breach the Constitutional requirement.

It is only when the introduction of Religious concepts into secular matters of the State harms others or the State that the requirement ought to be invoked.

The freedom to practice one's Religion includes expressing one's faith to promote the general good of all. The idea of Religious tolerance also includes such incidents as Ken exhibited to which folks of other Religious Faiths present could not take exceptions.

I would expect that had the Finance Minister been a Moslim, for instance, and had mentioned how in honor of Allah, a certain policy action ought to be implemented in all fairness and honesty, such a reference to Allah would not be in breach of the same "Separation of Religion and State" Constitutional requirement.

So, we must be wise enough to know how to tolerate our various legally acceptable Religions. In that sense, I fault Pratt for his failure to honor that expectation of Religious tolerance. His comment was uncalled for. Ken's comment did not harm anyone of a different Faith, nor did it hurt the State's ultimate goal.

Long Live Ghana!!!

The name Pratt is the embodiment of hypocrisy in Ghana journalism. This idiot parading as a journalist and a social commentator sees everything wrong with NPP actions. Ofori Attach mentioned the name of Christ in his budget readings so we should hang him. This stomach journalist saw nothing wrong with the late Attach Mills turning the Jubilee House and carbine meetings into church and church services respectively. He saw, heaRd and read nothing about how the criminal con artist called T. B. Joshuah turned the Jubilee house into his church when Mill was the president. This is the kind of hypocrisy destroying Ghana. Pratt should save us the agony of his stomach journalism and idiotic hypocrisy period.

Why do make huge issues out of nothing? Did we go to school to become such foolish and empty intellectuals? And why such hypocrisy and unnecessary stoking of religious tension in Ghana? How many times haven't we hear prominent Muslim politician quoting from the Qur'an even when addressing the public. How many times have heard ppl complaining about a Muslim public figure using the Qur'an to make sense of his/her point. What is it at all with ppl such as Pratt who think they have the legitimate right to force us think and behave the way they want. And what is wrong with showing the budget to his pastor? Do u tell us what deity you show your writings to before publication? Did the finance minister tell Ghanaians to follow Jesus Christ? Instead of critically examining the economic and financial benefits or otherwise of the budget, we foolishly allow ppl such as Pratt and his cohorts to muddy the issue with unnecessary, unsolicited religious tension. And when it is done, they re the same ppl who blame others of instigating religious intolerance.

Mr writer your piece would have made a mature reading if you yourself have not demonstrated you religious bias in the article. A secular state does not mean that you should not express your faith in the public space. It must also be noted that secularism itself is a belief of some people.

I think Ghanaians don't know Pratt well. During PNDC time he was doing undercover job for them. He was intentionally jailed by the PNDC to reveal the secrets and plans of people like KWAKU Barko who had then been politically jailed by PNDC. This was said by a staunch member of the PNDC, the late Adjei Boadi during the reconciliation period. This same Pratt revealed to wiki leak, a foreign medium that when Nana Addo wakes up in the morning he will be clouded with a cluster of smoke as a result of wee smoking. Just last week Mr Pratt said on peace fm kokrokoo show hosted by chairman general Sefa Kai that it's so embarrassing that Ghana is using 99.6 percent of its revenue to pay salaries, statutory payments and interest payments. Meanwhile before 2016 election Mr Pratt was hailing president Mahatma for project he was doing even though every body know that the prices of the projects were highly inflated about four times the original prices. Fear Mr Pratt and leave long.

PRESS RELEASE

To All Media; Radio, TV, Print, Cable and Web

DISSOLVE NSS IF YOU THINK IT IS NOT RELEVANT; concerned National service personnel

It is with heavy hearts that National service personnel nationwide threaten to abandon their posts by Friday March 24th 2017. Over the years, NSPs have cried out their plights to government after government yet none seems to be concerned.

The ways and manner in which matters pertaining to national service are handled in our country shows absolutely no respect for the graduates from our prestigious universities and colleges. In January 2016, the executives of the national service personnel association (NASPA) embarked on a peaceful negotiation with the then NDC government to increase allowances given to personnel.

The last time the scheme saw an increment in allowances of personnel dates as far back as December 2013. From which time, civil servants have seen a salary raise of not less than 12%, students loan have been increased, nursing and teacher trainees allowances have been restored and have received an upward increment and parliament received an increment in salaries from GHS7200 to GHS13000+. This being said, it is appalling and humiliating that NSPs should go through this show of neglect from government.

When the past NDC administration made a call to increase NSP allowance by 60% making it equivalent to 40% of graduate entry level salary under the single spine Salary structure, Personnel nationwide responded with delight yet this joy however, has vanished thanks to our authorities and the media for politicizing every single policy or decision made in this country.

Many have forgotten that personnel have to report to work daily, some of whom have been posted from faraway lands into rural communities in the name of service to the country. The least said about the struggles personnel go through to meet their bills, transport and meals a day, the better.

If the new administration cannot satisfy demands of the NSPs, it can dissolve the scheme. This will even ease up the stress of seeking for jobs after service and free graduates of private institutions of this humiliating bondage.

We are seriously angered by the way the current administration is handling the matters of our allowance increment and the meek and silent NSPs must act now for we have been taken for granted for long. It is only appropriate that even if government cannot satisfy the needs of the about 72000 personnel nationwide, they communicate It to us. Yet personnel are left in a dilemma of their own with authorities paying no attention.

We are hereby calling on all NSPs nationwide to adhere to the NASPA communique and abandon their posts by Friday, March 24th 2017 if no proper communique is released by government stating clearly whether or not it will pay the increased allowance of GHS559.

Better still, the scheme can be abolished if government Is unwilling to make it the least appealing and lucrative for graduates.

THANK YOU
