The managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr has said some boys attacked his car at Dome, a suburb of Accra, Friday.
According to him, it took the intervention of some 'responsible' people in the crowd who forced those boys to apologise to him.
Contributing to a panel discussion on Radio Gold's Alhaji and Alhaji, Kwesi Pratt condemned threats being issued out to people who spoke against a particular political party; adding "we should build a democracy regardless of one's political affiliation"
Below is what he said:
“…I stayed at work till very late yesterday…I got calls from my friends and they said where are you and I said look I am at work. They said are you alone? and I said yes I am alone. Are you driving home alone? and I said yes I am driving home alone and they said no, no, no, you shouldn’t do that. It is dangerous; the situation out there is dangerous and I was wondering; how dangerous can this be?
So I left Abelemkpe (a suburb of Accra); around midnight; driving alone to my house. I passed through several NPP jubilants; nothing happened until I got somewhere in Dome and then a couple of boys; maybe not more than 5 started banging on my car; kicking and so on. And I said my goodness what is this so I parked the car and I came out of the car and I said what the hell is going on here? Now do you know what happened? Apparently more responsible persons in the crowd came out and they forced those young men to apologise. I was so very impressed that there were responsible persons in that crowd of jubilants who quickly brought some discipline and compelled these young men to apologise for what they had done and I felt so proud as a Ghanaian…
A friend of mine who is a leading figure in the NDC called me last night and he said to me that he has had three death threats on his phone…it may not be from the NPP but it should never happen that because a party has lost elections any of its members should receive death threats; it should never happen; that’s a blot on our democracy. We should build a democracy where we are free to disagree and campaign against each other…I hope we will get there…"

Kwasi Pratt, Honourable, are you sure of what you are saying? Is it not a make-believe-story. Nobody has time to waste on you. You are already a bygone. It will be ***barred word*** for someone to attempt to harm you. Your story does not look credible. The guys who called you, who are they and did they know that you were going to be attacked? You know what, you are like Cain who killed his brother and God put a mark on his forehead. Nobody will harm you. You have already harmed yourself, so you will live with it until the DEVIL calls you. Is it true that you received GhC2000 from Woyome? I am so disappointed in you. How can Senior Journalist like you take such a paltry amount when the likes of Kwaku Anyidoho had such a windfall?
Kwasi boah
This are just lies. You ***barred word*** hypocrite just making up stories to save is disgraced face. I thought you said no party can win election in this country without support from minority parties. We now understand why you fell out with President Kuffour after supporting him and also why you support for President Mahama. The propaganda days of you and Randey Abbey are over because we shall not allow. You guys became rich over night because of Mahama paper so you thought we Ghanaians were ***barred word***. NDC shall never win power in Ghana because we know what they are made of.
U said that u saw nana smoking wee but u asked nana to come and def hi self, now prez u have started ok. Go and pay wayome money to him becos nana needs money to his notice.
Uncle Kwesi Pratt, I don't doubt your story as it happens most of the time when a you drive through a crowd. They most often do not mean harm, it is most often daft banging on the car without any intention to damage. However you were wrong and inciting to come out of the car to confront them. All u were to do was keep beeping your horn as if u are joining in the celebration or just stay put and drive slowly and carefully on. I am sure most of them did not even know it was your car or you were the driver. It is much ado about nothing. Will u please mount one of the numerous platform and apologise to Ghanaians especially the folks in NPP about your wild utterances? thanks
Kwasi has started the 2020 propagada.
Kwesi, when will you stop this lies? Know that YOU are over 60 years. This time some of us will not give you chance you Nation-Broker ( Oman Boni)
This is a cooked story...nothing of this nature happened. Kwasi is a serial lier who sees nothing good in the NPP and do whatever it takes to tarnish their reputation. Come again Kwasi...the era of change is here and there is a need for you to change as well. Lies will not help build a better nation!
you are fortunate they did not remove that D1R*TY AND HORROR TEETH OF YOURS. AB0A*FUNU. AY3 KA AMA WO. U ll see where to get money to buy fuel to drive that prado form the corrupt guys
Ignore this BREAD AND BUTTER journalist. He is lying through his crocodile teeth.
