KWESI, Many a time you make sense to me but I think you should avoid commenting on every single issue the way others do. Sometimes you should tell those who try to interview you that you have no opinion on a particular matter. If you were in the police force you would use your common sense. Common sense is above the constitution of Ghana. You don't allow demonstrations in a highly volatile environment. You may end up creating more problems. I know the police would use intelligence to decide that demonstration is not appropriate at a particular time. Would you allow demonstrations when there is coup de tat. That would be suicidal. So please learn not to talk every time, but talk hard when the issue falls into your territory because many a time you tickle me.

What is the meaning of policing then? What do you mean by "police have no business suggesting or holding demonstrations for a while? Are you politically motivated or you are speaking as a true journalist? You have missed the point! You are talking like an illiterate as long as security is concerned! Should the police allow demo while there is a sensitive and volatile election case in court! Should the police allow demos and something unexpected happens, who will you call upon to control the crowd? Is it not the "wahala" of the same police? Whose duty is it to maintain peace in the country, is it not the police? And if they are foreseeing danger and are trying to stop it before it becomes a danger, you are exposing your plenty teeth and exposing your political polarism by accusing the very institute that has the duty of maintaining peace in the country! Must Prat talk at all cost about every national issue just because he wants to talk or he talks to make positive contribution to the country! Here Prat has flopped completely! let him shut up and leave the country in peace!

Kwesi Pratt, please do yourself a little favour! Why would you wear this cheap shirt sold along the street? I know you are not a stomach journalist, but you earn enough to be able to buy a decent shirt.

the Fantis were mislead into believing ndc meant well and would continue the path of honesty and integrity set by mills . slowly eyes have been opened to see the reality of this hegemonic ayigbe selfish incompetent corrupt govt. from now on it will be each his own and ndc will never carry the day again in any of the Akan territories , only ppp cpp or npp will pass. the demographics of the country have changed and now the Fantis speaking people of western and central regions have the numbers to form their own state if pushed into war by these wish to dominate and buga buga oppress ewe led govt. it is not enough that they killed mills now they push further to put the people into poverty and misery hoping to break the spirit of the people as they have been trying to do since before kotoka. first it was the brain drain that took most of the intellectuals away to serve some pointless civil service that ignored their own people instead of decentralization, then the schools were opened to all except those that built and nurtured them in the first place. then came the period of deny any gainful employment so they were forced to emigrate to other lands. then all projects and industry that made logical sense including sustainability were placed elsewhere or not even processed. so today even the tradition industry the ordinary man could do to scratch a living are purposely being neglected or destroyed such as the fishing industry and the farming. we see all and say no more , long live the republic of Akan

Hi Joe!

Good day, sir!
I like the way you used to dismiss the silly comment about Mr. Pratt's shirt!

Obviously, defending the rights of Ghanaians have nothing to do with the price of the shirt one is wearing!

It is an open secret that Mr. Kwesi Pratt, Jnr., played a yeoman's role in the struggle for our current democratic dispensation under the Fourth Republic. And he continues to admirably and systematically pursue the cause, and to deepen it further!

Forward Ever! Backwards Never!!!

Sometimes people make stupid comments as what this Shamo put out. Everybody has his or her choice so if you have no sensible comment to make stay off. You just take a deep breath and think about what you said about his shirt, that's his choice so what is your beef.You want him to spend all his money buying expensive clothing which may not look good on him I don't think it's logical. Secondly your reason that he makes good money so, he should buy expensive clothing is not logically not good enough. You did not state what is wrong with the shirt he's wearing. You should have stated what you found wrong. I think you are one of those who just buy things just because it's high in price so it's got to look good on him or her which is not the case most of the time. That's Kwesis choice of colors and style.

My friend if you say Pratt is not a stomach politician then you dont know him at all. He is no better than the rest of them. That is what they are all doing to survive. It starts from brown envelopes and gravitates to questionable trips abroad, posh cars and property.

As for the quality of shirt Pratt is wearing, it is no secret that it is because the man lacks class.

The Pratt man publishes a newspaper that sells at most 500 copies a week. How much do you think he will make after deducting all related overheads? Yet this self-acclaimed socialist owns several cars amongst which are four wheel drives. He operates from an expensive looking expanse of office space at Kokomlemle. I ask, who is he fooling? Not me at least.

I was not surprise the police and for that matter the NDC administration will come out trying to muzzle The People of Ghana. This administration is threading on dangerous grounds and setting a very bad precedence. This Mahama administration is drawing Ghana back into the dark ages of AFRC, PNDC, but we have made it too far for any irresponsible, selfish, hooligans, lawless, thieves, state looters, satanic, evil and above all fools to bring The Ghanaian people back 30years.

The Constitution only guarantees peaceful protest and even that has to be policed to ensure public safety and convenience.

What if the police pronounced free for all demonstrations allowing opposing factions to demonstrate at the same time on the same piece of land?

It is obvious that those agitating for demonstrations are hell bent on causing civil commotion. Police manpower should be better deployed and not placed at the disposal of busy bodies.

Is kWasi Pratt a Journalist or a Politician? Pratt should know that Police is the internal security of the State. They have right to arrest prosecute anyone who they have tangible evidence susupect to ruin the Nation, and bann any demonstration they think it threatens the security of the Nation, like as some of you do in Ghana, and go free. In USA, German Britain, etc. Police is the Powerful authority. Pratt do not know what is happening in other parts of the World, and he claims as if he knows all. He should try that in the USA, Britain or German (that is also a Domcratic countries with free of Press).

Does Pratt know the Dos and donts of Police? Ghana Police is one of the non-agressive Police in the World.

Pratt should know also that, the Ghana Police have well qualified educated elites. Kwasi Pratt should shut up and decide whether he wants to be a journalist ( and if wants to be a journalist, he should read and l.earn more, because I could see his primitivity, and lack of knowledge), and if wants to be a Politician he should come openly, and stop fooling Ghanains. Pratt really talks very uncouthly, primitive,angrily with himself, and no respect. In any Deocratic Nation, there should be an Order, so what does he want?

THE IGNORANT, ILLITERATES, UNDEMOCRATIC PLONKERS ON GHANAWEB FORUM.

95% of contributors here on Ghanaweb are so uneducated and ill mannered that they do not understand the meaning of democracy, freedom of speech, tolerance, good manners and 'let's agree to disagree' without responding to other views and beliefs with insults, tribalism, racism, regionalism, personal abuse and sexism.

It is shameful and embarrassing for the whole world to read that Africans and Ghanaians in particular do not respect each other; do not respect their elders; do not respect their women and their leaders even though they may disagree with their policies or lack of it.

Some writers here begin their sentences with 'tribal insults' before they tackle the topic being discussed. It is about time we grew up and stopped behaving badly on Ghanaweb.

As you can all see the owners of Ghanaweb refuse to appoint a moderator to delete and not publish any comments that carry racial, ethnic, tribal insults as opposed to other civilised publishers who ensure that racist comments are not published.

What does this tell you about Ghanaweb? Their agenda is to promote racism, tribalism, division, tension and to take our eyes off issues of promotion of goodwill, development and progress. Once we remain divided and see each other as enemies, they are able to collaborate with the economic imperialists who are focussing on stealing our resources, oil, etc. through agents who are also Ghanaians.

Uncle Kwasi this is only time I think I have agreed with you on your submission and presentation. Police should know that they are paid from public purse but not the president's purse so as to do his bidding.Why are the police trying to arrest freedom of expression and association enshrined in the 1992 constitution which all other laws of the country are a subset to it.If that woman Rose Bio Atinga signatory to such directive is allowed she plunge this country into chaos. A woman who has no iota of respect for her subordinates. I wish Bernard Monarh could challenge such directive by the police if he really want to fight a just course as he seems to be portraying himself.

If Ghanaians are peaceful enough, I guess the police could protect the demonstration and allow it to go on. Why do demonstrators have to inform the police prior the act? Pratt, you should find another important news to report on than promoting an uncontrollable demonstration knowing fully that it is against the Supreme Court case that is not ruled on yet. Wait for the final verdict.

Though the police have come out with this statement, anybody who wants to go on any demonstration can still write to notify the police. The police cannot stop the demonstration unless they go to court to secure a court order to restrain the organizers. I think what the police are doing is to draw the attention of the public to the difficult situation they are in which will not enable them to provide protection for anybody going on a demo.

Comrade it is the right of every citizen to express his right to demonstrate against an act that he or she thinks is against his human dignity and self respect. But Comrade Kwesi Pratt if what happens in the western liberal democracies connotes democracy, then it is a fact that courts in both Europe and the U.S. have banned the demonstrations by the 99% of the population because the demonstration are said to be done on private property.
What about when the state decides tomorrow to give where demonstrators are to pass or even gather to private companies.
It is the same right to demonstrate that the west used to overthrow governments in North Africa, but ban the same in their country. In Britain violent demonstrating youth and their parents were punished. These are the facts and not fiction.

Pratt faults police over demo
