Kwesi Pratt Again

It is very interesting to see Mr. Kwesi Pratt claiming that "internal insurgency"
could take the NDC back into opposition.
Speaking on Citi Breakfast Show yesterday, he alleged that the agitations by foot
soldiers and criticism of President Mills all aimed at replacing President Mills is
what will send the NDC back to opposition.
What Mr. Pratt must be told is that he is one of the reasons why foot soldiers of
the party are disenchanted with President Mills. When he and his paymaster, Ato
Ahwoi, led the CJ dogs of war especially Omane Boamah, Okudjeto Ablakwa and Kwesi
Adu to attack Former President Rawlings, and President Mills and other leading
members kept an eerie silence, what did he expect? That the rank and file of the NDC
would be happy with President Mills.
Secondly, if Mr. Pratt has got what he wants, a state of the art printing press,
from his paymasters, why was he expecting that the foot soldiers would also not
demand what they think would make life easy for them.
How dare Mr. Pratt come out to scream that President must ‘hunt the witches’ if they
exist and yet tell Former President Rawlings that who also said Mills must prosecute
thieving former Ministers to shut up! What effrontery!
Perhaps, in Kwesi Pratt’s mind, he is the best thing to have happened to the NDC. It
is people like him who have made so many people disenchanted with President Mills.
Mr. Kwesi Pratt would be one of the people we shall hold responsible if the NDC
loses the election. We can assure him of that. Neither he, nor Messrs Ato Ahwoi,
Omane Boamah and Okudjeto Ablakwa would escape the masses wrath if the NDC loses the
2012 elections.
It would help President Mills and the NDC if Kwesi Pratt would shut up.
