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…"

Stop the lies.
If I were any true NPPian, I will stay away from this guy. He is dangerous. He can easily make the NPP government unpopular. Just ignore and stay away from him. Remember, he is waiting for his ambulance, and as a result waiting on someone to be a scape-goat.
What could account for this bal/der/das.h from you?
Ei, you've started the job early. Trying to taint NPP already? Then you must have been paid a huge amount, otherwise what could account for this ***barred word*** from you?
My friend, tell this to the marines. As people grow, they tend to be wiser. How come you are becoming the direct opposite?
Master Kwesi the lie is too mush what stall do you want? God doon punish you Pratt.
Kwesi have you seen your smoothness level? You dey radio stations wey you dey make noise...better luck next time.
Kwesi Pratt, how could you sell yourself so low for just 2000 Gh cedis when others were collecting 70,000 and more? How can you disgrace your wife and children like this.
Pratt you are a deeviil to put this ***barred word*** frame up out there? No wonder even Ben Epson said he was afraid of you even when he was a kid
Kwesi Pratt remember in life ,you reap what you sow. Now you see ,you are afraid of your own shadow. Nobody is after you but you are scared. Your other partner Ben Ephson is feeling the same way. CPP should not accept you back because.....
