Audio Attachment:Listen to Kwesi Pratt Jnr. on Peace FM's 'kokrokoo' |
Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr. has said that Ghana will not enjoy its peace as it has now when the United States (US) military is given the mandate to build a base in the country.
To him, all countries that have an American military base do not experience any form of peace, therefore they must not be given the go ahead to perform such a task.
“There is nowhere in the world that Americans have created its military base that peace have prevailed, there is stability, there is peace and there are no terrorist attacks, nowhere in the world . . . there is instability, there is terrorist attack, there is turmoil everywhere, anywhere that there is a US Military base”, he noted.
Speaking on Peace FM’s 'Kokrokoo' programme, Kwesi Pratt Jnr. indicated that “in this particular case, Ghanaian soldiers are being treated as inferior to the soldiers of the United State soldiers, Ghanaian soldiers don’t have the same privileges and rights being conferred on US soldiers”.
He said what disturbed him most on this matter was that some claim we should look at the amount involved than the many agitations, but he believes we should be much concerned of our national sovereignty.
“National sovereignty is not for sale and cannot be for sale at any price . . .”, he fumed.
According to Kwesi Pratt Jnr., listening to the Minister of Defence, Dominic Nitiwul’s explanation to the issue filled his heart with much sorrow, as it clearly portrayed how naïve he was on the deal.
“I think it is almost reckless that we are able to sign an agreement that places no restriction on the type of weapons which come into our country”, he stated.
He said he was so surprised that Ghanaian MP’s who are being mocked at by the US government are going to approve an agreement that gives US soldiers more pivileges than Members of Parliament.

America has no base in UK, Non in France and yet still they are attacked. America has a base in Germany -NO Attack America has a base in South Korea - NO Attack Mr Kwesi Pratt is not talking from a facts perspective.
Mr NO ALL let's think better, kwaku ananse after all your sences, your conscience failed you to accept state properties from the former regime. If you like come out and tell the whole world and answer as a human being or as ***barred word*** like how your master answered BBC.
my advice to all ghanaians is to compile a list of addresse of residence of our honorables and make it open by publishing in the media. everything else will follow in the name of allah the merciful. this will enable common sense to prevail in future when signing any agreement. because am proud citizen from a shithole country. I do not understand the president and his cabinet- you always put on made in ghana cloth and go on to sign this agreement. are you doing politrics or being insane to the rest of innocent ghanaians. am praying that we witness first terrorist act and we begin to understand how ***barred word*** and uncomfortable the situation is. just ask late kofi awoonor's child
Kwabena ASIEDU-SEKYI, WHAT TYPE OF BASES ARE IN THOSE COUNTRIES AND FOR WHICH COUNTRY? AMERICA?? DO YOU AND KWESI PRATT KNOW WHAT CONSTITUTES AN AMERICAN BASE?? DO YOU KNOW ANY DETAILS OF THE AGREEMENT?? WHEN PPL EMOTIONALLY DISCUSS DOCUMENTS THEY HAVEN'T SIGHTED, THEY BLOW HOT AIR AND LEAD MANY ASTRAY.
Massa; Ghanaians cannot read between the lines the purpose of such aggreeement was meant to STOP coups in Ghana for good besides if you consider the contents of what is this aggreement one will wonder why Nana Addo of all people agreed for the aggreement to be rectified in parliament ; once the US base or troops are established no way idiotic full like JJ Rawlings can full Ghanaians under the pretext of a coup again ; the base will staaffed with less than 200 soldirs but will be heavily armed and will out gun the whole of the Ghana army
look at this ediioot of a rat called kwesi pratt, where were you when the NDC signed the two agreements it is so annoying to hear such hypocrites make noise about nothing. This agreement is not a military base thing but rather military partnership, i would rather urge the government to tell the US government to build a military base here and let see what these an1mals would do, enkwasiafour party (NDC) and their aparachikes like Kwsei Pratt and co
There is US military bases in Japan, Germany, and South Korea. Is Ghana better than the above countries, what are you talking about? If America wants to strike a region they do it from their military base, so if they want to strike from or help military wise in West Africa they will do it from Ghana. This means if Ghana refuses they get their base in any of our neighboring west African countries, they will still strike from there the same, it wont make a difference.
indeeded the average african president is an idiioooot. you have just been called shithole president yet you go in for stupiiid award to turn your country back. is it old age or mere stupidityyyyy. alqeeda fans are already in ghana. my only prayer is that when these terrorist strike it should start from parliament, then to their immediate families and to all others who were involved in the negotiations and leave the innocent ghanaians. I have a book on how to destroy ghana in one week. am prepared to sell it for only 5 cedis.
Sammy please if you do not have your facts or know anything about what is going on please be silent and be considered as wise person ...... the countries you mentioned all have bases. Check before you speak
Kwasi Pratt, a liar and a hypocrite again.Are there military bases in Sudan, Nigeria and Burkina Faso? No but there are terrorists attacks. So Kwasi Pratt, put on your thinking cup and stop this noise making. You and NDC are disturbing our ears.
