The Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr, has asked government to pay attention to some issues being raised by the Homeland Study Group Foundation, a secessionist group fighting for the independence of the then Western Togoland from Ghana.
The Military has invaded Ho in the Volta region and has evacuated some 21 persons including a lady believed to be receiving military training from the secessionists group.
The 'recruits' according to reports were rounded up in a dawn operation by the military following weeks of surveillance.
Reacting to this development on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', Kwesi Pratt urged all to come on board to deal with the issue to avoid it escalating.
According to him, secessioning is not a solution to any problem.
"It is not a solution to lack of development, it is not a solution to non-integration. . . " he said while admitting that the Volta region has been neglected for some time.
He further indicated that there are reasons being given by the group which are true and that there will be the need for government to deal with it.
"We should not start a war, war is not the solution to the problem . . . it is true that Volta region has been neglected for some time, for a very long time Volta region has not had its fair share of development, that is an issue we have to address. If you do that their propaganda collapses . . . there are major issues that need national attention," he pointed out.

What’s Mr Pratt talking About, which region is fully developed in Ghana. Is it not a stronghold of the NDC. Check the number of years they have been on the throne after independence, where were you when JM was going rounds during the 2016 electioneering campaign. Didn’t he claim to have develop the whole of Volta region. You are hypocr!tes. You were and still is personal aid to JM, and a diehard NDC communicator. Why didn’t you advice them same when your party was in power.
F-o-o-o-o-l go and tell Rawlings. Ask your party NDC. K-w-a-s-e-a kwa
i'm not surprised he is talking like that. if it were ndc in power, he will be saying something else.
This Pratt guy is becoming Ne u san ce. He does not make sense any longer.
Kwasi Prat! aren't you ashamed of yourself? because of nokofio you are talking loose. Your party in disguise was inpower for so many years from Rawlings to JDm time what did the party do for them? A region the claim to be their world bank they did not send development to them and now you say wetin? Mr. loose talker! gyae ma yendwene yen ho wai. Why have you made your ego cheap because of politics?
KWASI IF IT IS NEGLECT THAT IS WHY THEY ARE SECEEDING THEN WHO CAUSE AM? WERE THEY NOT CALLED THE WORLD BANK OF A CERTAIN PARTY? IN ANY CASE IF NEGLECT IS THE BASIS FOR SECESSION THEN SEFWI WHICH PRIDES ITSELF AS THE LEADING PRODUCER OF COCOA, BAUXITE, TIMBER, AND OTHER MANY RESOURCES WOULD HAVE LEFT GHANA LONG TIME. YOUR ARGUMENT IS HOLLOW PLEASE.
Tell your party that was in power for 8 years. Ostrich Pratt
