The Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper has challenged Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to find a solution to the recent spate in armed robbery attacks in the country.
The Vice President according to Article 201 of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana, is the chairman of the Police Council.
In view of this, Kwesi Pratt Jnr has charged the Vice President to ‘wake up’ to his constitutional mandate.
“Interestingly, our constitution allows our Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to superintend the police council. So this matter is in his court and I think it will be a great pity if Dr Bawumia is unable to resolve this matter because two years ago, he was Mr Know-all; he knew answers to everything. Now he is in power; the police have been assigned to him; please wake up…please let all be well. The feeling of insecurity in the country is huge; everybody is afraid and it is important to pay very serious attention to this”
“Last week, we were assuring Donald trump that we will help him to fight terrorism; you can’t fight two by four armed robberies and you are now going to assist the United States to fight terrorism. What is wrong with us…” he slammed.
Meanwhile, Kwesi Pratt who was contributing to a panel discussion on Radio Gold’s Alhaji and Alhaji, Saturday called on the Inspector General of Police, (IGP), David Asante-Apeatu to invite COP Rose Bio-Atinga and (COP) Christian Tetteh Yohuno to assist in bringing an end to the recent spate in armed robbery attacks.
According to him, they have excelled in their performance and have the skills to contribute in bringing an end to these attacks.

Hmmm, Kwesi i shy for you, for once think about Ghana not your selfish interest ,pls remember your age and speak the truth
Kwesi Pratt is a disgrace to Ghana journalism and Kwame Nkrumah our first President. I say, Kwame Nkrumah, because Mr. Pratt is allegedly Nkrumaist and he seems to portray that with great affection. But for me, his views and argumentation are hollow like that of a paid press tasked to run strong and honest political opponents down.Dr. Bawumia, the Vice President has made his mark and no amount of dirty politicking can destroy his reputation. Kwesi is rather exposing his intellectual dishonesty. Ghanaians are discerning and his actions are rather counterproductive for the NDC.
Pratt is a man who knows no shame. I am not surprised he is talking too much these days. Alleged Woyome money from create, loot and share is not coming no more. He is hungry and angry. But Ghanaians are discerning and free SHS will make them more discerning and people like Pratt, Omane Boamah, Abrakwa, Ofosu Kwakye and Asiedu Nketia will lose their relevance in the Ghana political landscape. It is a matter of time 4-6 years and Ghanaians will not vote such people to govern the country. So Pratt, the money you have got through Woyome, spend it carefully and none will your way in the coming years.
ndc paid communicator mr. know all monkey face kwesi pratt please stop joking
Maaaser! Ei, is that Kwasi Praaat speaking? He JUST want to be heard! Wait, all people who took money from Woyome are going to have their day in court and Kwasi is one. Nobody will follow him to court and finally Nsawan!
What have you done for GHANA? I know you as 1. Konkonsa-you blackmailed your colleagues during the PNDC era. 2. We know that you took bribe in" wiase ye sum" black polyethene bag. 3. You always insult people who are not communist like you. GREEDY MAN.
The unanimity in condemnation, postured by the comments is testimony that Kwasi Pratt's comments were made in very bad taste. Ghanaians are becoming increasingly discerning and can identify wrong from right. The comment was very unfortunate and outright disrespectful and I think Pratt thinks his more advanced age than Dr. Bawumia gives him leverage to belittle him! I often say that one sure way to build strong and credible institutions is to respect institutions. The office of the veep is an institution and Pratt should look beyond the personality and accord some modicum of respect to the office. Not that the personality occupying that office is a pauper or any street walker: the occupant of that office is Dr. Bawumiah, an astute and respected economist! So even if you remove the office and leave the personalities bare Pratt is no match for Dr Bawumiah! Pratt has his place as far as democratic consolidation in journalism and national life is concerned in this country and I expected him to know better and accord to fellow professionals in their respective fields. There is no one who knows all.We need the effective contribution from every field by everyone from journalism which is Pratt's field to economics which is Bawumiah's field.
The reason why Nana Addo is keeping someone such as Ken Dapaa as head of National Security beats my imagination. The guy has no clue at that office. Such a sensitive position should not be toyed with. If some of us abroad could pick sensitive security information from Ghana at a time the National Security has no clue of what’s going on, then we are doomed as a nation. Rawlings just don’t talk when it comes to matters of Security. Why do you think people like Kwesi Pratt, Kofi Adams who are doing the bidding of NDC will attack Rawlings that strong when he (Papa J) said “ I hope the currently security disruption is not Politically motivated”.? Did Papa J mention the name of any Politician or Political Party? Yet the NDC communicators descended heavily on him. This Plan was within the known of some of us way before it came to light. Now tell me, why must we pay people such as Ken Dapaa at the National Security? Painting Ghana as insecure is one of the main agenda for NDC to score points against the ruling NPP. No wonder Otumfour was forced to resurrect the Delta Force matter at a time it had settled. Did anybody question why that time? Nana Addo must wake up because it doesn’t matter what you will do if people are not safe and secured in their home country, nothing matters. Get Competent People in Place of National Security. Period!!!
ENVINESS WILL KILL YOU BEFORE YOUR TIME KWASI PRATT. WHAT AT ALL HAS DR. BAWUMIA DONE TO YOU. IS IT HIS FAULT THAT YOU DIDN'T FURTHER YOUR EDUCATION TO BE LIKE HIM? IS IT HIS FAULT THAT GOD HAS BLESS HIM WITH A BEAUTIFUL AND INTELLIGENT WIFE? OR IS IT HIS FAULT THAT YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE NOW? PLEASE I WILL ADVISE YOU STOP THIS BITTERNESS AND ENVINESS TOWARDS THIS INNOCENT MAN WHO I THINK WILL NOT EVEN FOR A MOMENT THINK ABOUT A PERSON LIKE KWASI PRATT FOR ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD. WHY WORRY ABOUT HIM. BETWEEN YOU AND BAWUMIA IS THE BEST PERSON TO BE CLASSIFY AS MR. KNOW ALL? I AM VERY SORRY BUT I THINK THIS ATTITUDE OF YOURS WILL NOT SEND YOU ANYWHERE BETTER THAN WHERE YOU ARE NOW. YOU MAY EVEN END UP TO BE WORSE OFF IF YOU DON'T CHANGE. A WORD TO A WISE ........
