Kwesi Pratt Jnr., a seasoned journalist and Editor-in-Chief of the Insight Newspaper, has lashed out at politicians in Ghana for their entitlement mentality. In a recent interview with an Accra-based TV station, Pratt expressed his frustration with the current state of politics in the country.
“What is happening in our country?” Pratt asked, “So what will happen to those who do not belong to any political party? Are they not human beings anymore?” He questioned the notion that citizens who do not belong to a political party or are not members of a party lose their rights as citizens.
Pratt argued that politicians have an entitlement mentality, believing that they have a right to govern simply because they won an election. “We helped you win an election, and so therefore you have entitlement. What entitlement?” he asked.
He emphasized that Ghana belongs to its citizens, not to any particular politician or party. “We didn’t sell Ghana to him. Ghana does not belong to him, Ghana does not belong to NDC, Ghana did not belong to NPP, and Ghana will not belong to the CPP,” Pratt stated.
Pratt’s comments come amidst concerns about the credibility and integrity of Ghana’s electoral process. He has been vocal about the need for electoral reforms and has criticized the Electoral Commission for its handling of recent elections.
