Seasoned Journalist, Kwesi Pratt has vehemently reprimanded government over her move to the International Monetary Fund(IMF) for financial assistance.
The government is in talks with the international financial institution for a grant to support its economic program.
The government claims the COVID-19 pandemic coupled with the Ukraine/Russia war has adversely affected Ghana's economy that the move to the IMF is necessary to salvage the economy.
But to Mr. Pratt, "going to the IMF is a waste of time . . . Going to the IMF is useless".
Advising the government against the IMF decision, he quoted a popular saying by world-renowned physicist, Albert Einstein, saying "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different result is madness".
"We have a basis for speaking against the IMF because they haven't helped us before. Every time they come, it's all trouble," he stressed.
Mr. Pratt made these submissions on Peace FM's morning show "Kokrokoo".

Do we have any short-term alternative?
Hahahaaaa, this Kwesi Flatt man paaaaa dia, going to IMF is ***barred word***? But you failed to tell government where they should have gone to. You criticize without offering alternatives. Tell Ghanaians if you were the president the things you will do to prevent Ghana from seeking foreign assistance. In any case what is preventing you from standing for parliamentary elections in your constituency or the presidency, are you not a Ghanaian or you don't have a voters ID card?
***barred word*** man! Did you tell Mahama that when you were his advisor?
