Kwesi Pratt Jnr. Managing Editor of the Insight

Those who chant “all die be die” must lead the fight - Kwesi Pratt Jnr.
The Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper,Kwesi
Pratt Jnr., has cautioned political leaders who
are chanting “all die be die” to become ready to
lead the fight if they really think life is not
worth living.

Kwesi Pratt Jnr. said those politicians can call
their family members to join them in the fight
instead of inciting party foot soldiers into an
unnecessary fight that may end their lives in
favour of the party.

According to him, some politicians are taking
people for granted and it is high time Ghanaians
put a stop to that.

Speaking at a forum dubbed “Forum on hate speech
and inciting genocide” organised by the Center for
Governance and Justice on Tuesday, Kwesi Pratt
Jnr. condemned the unprintable comments of Kennedy
Agyapong.

He said, although it was left for the court to
judge the comments of the Assin North MP,it was
wrong in his opinion to kill since “we inter marry
ourselves regardless of our tribal differences.”

According to Mr Pratt, it is fair for people to
condemn bad statements made by politicians in the
country, adding that “we elected them not because
we love them, but because we want them to help
improve our socio-economic standard of living”.

Present at the forum were the deputy Ministers of
Information, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa and Baba
Jamal, deputy Minister for Interior, Kobby
Acheampong, deputy Minister of Youth and Sports,
Dr. Omane Boamah and a Presidential Aide, Stan
Dogbe.
