Hypocrites & Parasites!

Pratt, Archer Exposed! ...Enjoys Gov’t Joyride As They Complain Of State Abuse!

Even as he makes all manner of noise with his fabricated facts about journalists enjoying from state sponsored largesse, Mr. Raymond Archer, the Editor in-Chief of the Enquirer newspaper, is also enjoying similar government sponsorship!

Archer, who recently fabricated news to the effect that journalists were paid fifteen billion cedis by the erstwhile New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, is currently on a joyride to far away Singapore at the behest of the government of Ghana and the Ministry of Information, the same ministry at the centre of the accusations of abuse being made by Raymond Archer’s Enquirer!

Also enjoying from the foreign trip and per diem is Ghana’s new tactician and crowd management cum oil rig expert, Mr. Kwesi Pratt, the Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, a staunch supporter of the government of John Evans Atta Mills!

The delegation, numbering over twelve, is led by Mr. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Deputy Minister of Information and a loud-mouthed critic of government abuse of public funds!

Yesterday, highly placed sources at the Ministry of Information told this blog that the trip is costing more than $50, 000.00 (fifty thousand dollars)!

The dubious mission of the media delegation is to learn about the Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) which is currently under construction in Singapore.

The delegation would be taken through the history of Ghana’s oil, activities of offshore operation, jubilee development plan, project status and updates as well as commercialization of rich gas deposit accompanying oil all in Singapore.

Raymond Archer, the Editor in Chief of the Enquirer newspaper which has been in the news lately detailing how government money was blown and describing his friends as being “ungrateful” to citizenry for taking monies is on the trip for his share.

Mr. Kwesi Pratt Jnr. who is on his second trip after he was taken to South Africa as a ‘critical thinker’ for the World Cup Draw has in the past bashed and screamed to the high heavens and even went on demonstrations against such trips.

Others too who do not smell anything wrong with this current government and have turned their newspaper review shows into ‘Daily Graphic reviews’ are also on the trip.

Others on the trip are Moses Dotsey Aklorbortu, Roland Walker, Roland Acquah Stevens, Soyokor Quarcoo- Tchere and Alhaji Haruna Atta of the Mail with representatives with from Hot Fm, Peace Fm, Ghana News Agency and the Chronicle.
