Kwesi Pratt, the Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, has described as silly and unbelievable claims by the opposition New Patriotic Party that he benefitted from the GH¢51.2 million judgment debt wrongfully paid to Alfred Woyome.
Nana Akomea, NPP’s Communications Director, Nana Akomea at a news conference in Accra Monday alleged that Mr Woyome wrote down the names of all the beneficiaries of the money and indicated the exact reasons why the money is being paid to them.
According to Nana Akomea, the key beneficiaries include;

(m)GHC30,000 8 February 2011 to NDC Greater Accra Regional Chairman, Ade Coker
But Mr Kwesi Pratt has told pulse.com.gh that the allegations are silly and shows desperation on the part of the NPP.
“This is extremely silly. It’s so silly; it’s unbelievable. This can only be a sign of desperation on their part. What is this? That you find somebody’s name with 2000 cedis by it and therefore we took part of Woyome’s money; it’s so silly…what is politics coming to. It’s just incredible. I can’t believe that this has happened; I can’t believe that they’ve been so silly,” he said

always fingered in bribery kwesi pratt . you have no credibility
What's so silly about it. You took the bribe and you did not even address the issue but go on ranting about how silly it is and NPP being desperate. You are a clown caught in your tiny Web of lies. I can proudly say you are a ***barred word***.
Ei Kwasi did you took it 9r not.money is money no matter the quatum. Let's know weather you took it or not.
So npp think this lie will win people heart to vote them?? Nana Akomea can even turn himself into elephant but they will still lose.
2000 Ghc out of 51m Ghc?? What?? 20 million OLD Cedis? The cost of a dog at Tetteh Quarshie? Kwesi Pratt you needed that money to buy akpeteshie or credit on your phone? Oooo man you shock me
see bthis one, yu run 2 America embassy complaining Nana smoke wee all the time, kwashiaaa buuuluuu, and now you saying what is this, e be your mommma and papa, aboafuuunu te se wo, I can't wait 2 slap you on Friday morning infront of your kiost office, wotweaasiliiii.
You are more silly for the bribe. Learn from Bugri Naabu and expose the Briber. Mr. Pick Axe-like teeth.
GHC2,000 in 2010 was almost like a $1,000 and I'm sure a slut like Mr Pratt wouldn't think twice before pocketing it. Mr. Pratt is incensed his evil deeds have seen the light of day. He saw nothing wrong as a journalist when doing stories about others who were allegedly stole state funds.
Mr. Pratt, yes it's Ghc 2000, but did you take or not?? Woyome has confirmed giving you money so why the insult please?? You frown upon politics of insult and yet you engages in it. I thought you were going deny but you did not. Well see on Wensday, Mr. Amidu said we vote JM out so that we can get our money. I will honour his call. Thank you Mr. Pratt
kwesi prat you are rather silly
