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

onyame ahuwuoooooooooo
Pratt is not denying it. That means it is true. He is only attacking the fact that an allegation has been made against him.
Amazing how NPP supporters beleive any silly story told by their incompetent executives. No wonder they are going to lose again. THEY NEVER LEARN!!
Quite simple Sir. Did you or did you not receive money from Alfred Woyome.........
Kwasi dont swerve the allegation, we want to know whether u took the cash or not. Even Koku took 113,000 so how could u stay so cheap to take 2000 which i can even dash u some for free. Stop the insults and reply Ghanaians cos we want to know if u chop or u didnt
If 2000 is silly, what about 100,000. There is an aroma of truth in every rumour.
E!!1 Kwasi Pratt if 2,000.00 ghana cedis can buy then Kwasi i will give you 3,000 for you to speak for your hometown Apam people as they lack so many basic things, you are too cheap and you have disgrace us. Shame oooooooooo shame Kwasi shame, Wani awu potooooo
@kwame u should have thought of it that if woyome had brought the list earlier they would have released it, @KSK, surely we all know nPP's also chop some and woyome will surely bring out more list. So what u should know is why is Kwasi not answering to the allegation but rather insulting them. Did he take the money or not?
kwesi pratt i urge yo to sue NPP. Take the matter to court let the court confirm your innocence
Now you have seen how painful it is when an allegation is made against you without been consulted first for your version. You have done this a lot of people just by hidding behind your stomach journalism. Now you have met your match. Just stop the ***barred word***. You can keep lying but we all know who you are and what you are capable of doing.
