When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

It is because of John Agyekum Kuffour they are doing that so that the NPP members cannot give him Cocaine to travel abroad with.

SO IF THAT IS TTHE CASE AND TRUE WHY ARE THE NDC PEOPLE CRYING THE LOUDEST. NPP PEOPLE WHO ARE IN POWER ARE NOT EVEN PROTESTING. OKUDZETO ABLAKWA AND HIS NDC FOLKS ARE MAKING THE MOST NOISE. GRANTED THAT THESE POEPLE ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW (IN GHANA THEY THINK THEY ARE) BUT AT THE US EMBASSY THEY ARE NOT. YOU FOLKS NEED TO LEARN HOW TO READ. THE AMBASSADOR SAID IF THEY ARE GOING FOR A PRIVATE BUSINESS THEN THEY HAVE TO APPLY IN PERSON. I DO NOT SEE WHY THIS IS A BIG DEAL. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY AMERICAN PRESIDENT OR MEMBER OF CONGRESS COMING TO GHANA FOR PRIVATE BUSINESS. OUR MPS SHOULD WORK HARD TO MAKE THE COUNTRY ATTRACTIVE SO THAT WE DON'T LEAVE TO OTHER COUNTRIES.

Develop Ghana so there would be no need to get visas to America for medical treatment and vacation. We have beautiful oceans but yet we go to the Caribbean to enjoy their beaches.

The question most Ghanaians should be asking themselves is where did they go wrong? Did Ghanaians mess up before this change in consular procedures? Every applicant needs to be interviewed according to the US directive before they will be awarded a visa. This is the standard procedure for now.

How many presidents and members of parliament from the USA would like to visit Ghana when their term of office ends. This is because the leaders of that country have put things in place to develop their country. The place looks nice and everybody wants to go and stay there. What about the political leaders in Ghana and other African leaders done to our countries? Steal our money that is supposed to make our country look like USA and other countries and invest them in foreign countries so that they and their family would there to use them there. I agree with the US consular with his country decision. Let our political leaders begin to think on how we can make our country look like USA so that they will be pleased to stay.

The shouting match amongst MPs and government officials as to the legality of the US government visa edicts is meaningless. Probably, you folks are gunning for a title in the race to berate the USA for just applying an existing law. The favor done to travelers did not pre-empt the enforcement of their laws. Why should others get a pass whilst another go through the norm? The way the system has been abused is why the USA is seeing the process with the original lenses now. Officials use all kinds of corrupt methods to scam the embassies and sell visas to gullible Ghanaians. We hear the stories everyday in the diaspora, Mahama's government the worst culprits of dumping illegals overseas.

In fact no ex leader from any African country should be given visa to the USA without being interviewed, let them queue like everyone else. They will learn to develop their own countries

I WISH ONLY MAHAMA SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO JOIN THE QUEUE FOR HIS VISA TO THE US BECAUSE HE IS THE MOST USELESS PRESIDENT SO FAR WITH CORRUPTION AND THIEVERY INSTEAD OF RAISING UP THE STANDARD OF LIVING OF GHANAIANS.

The Ministry of Foreign affairs is lost in the wilderness as a confused entity leading Ghanaians as a loose cannon. No ex president and diplomats from the US comes to Ghana on a private business. Even if they do, state protocol is eager to get them official audience with the government. Is the Ministry not aware of the protocol arrangements?

BIG NO.

THIS MEANS WE ARE STILL A COUNTRY WHERE ITS CITIZENS HAVE ARE KNOWN WITH FICTITIOUS AND DUBIOUS TRICKS FOR APPLICATION OF TRAVELLING VISAS.

THE NATION RECENTLY HAD TO LEARN FROM GHANAIAN MPS WHO USED THEIR DIPLOMATIC PASSPORTS TO SMUGGLE THEIR REALATIVES TO ENGLAND

ONE THING THAT MATTERS MOST TO ME IS, WHY ARE NOT USING THESE TACTICS AND TRICKS IN THE PROMOTION OF TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION:

Respect begets respect. Our ex presidents and MPS don't respect themselves and do not deserve preferential treatments. They are destroying Ghana for the massive thefts they engage in. Look around you and all you see is misery, decay, hopelessness, diseases, ignorance, illiteracy, unemployment and lawlessness. Where did all the development money go?

I encourage the US Embassy not to let up on these thieves, who are taking turns to steal and destroy Ghana. That is what the embassy can do to support the poor and the aggrieved. A bunch of idiots who know no shame because the amount of money they have stolen should be enough to solve some of the pressing problems facing Ghana, such as building a first class rail road, improve health care to avoid needless deaths. Let them stay at home, Mr. Ambassador. They are an abomination to mankind!
