Managing Editor of The Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr. says he sees no sense in members of the opposition National Democratic Congress [NDC] pleading with former President Jerry John Rawlings per his allegations leveled against them.
According to the Managing Editor of The Insight newspaper, if the party has been alleged to be involved in corruption and also not developing the Volta region, a region that massively voted for them to win power, he sees no sense in begging, instead of using facts and figures to defend the truth of the matter.
“I can’t understand why leaders of the NDC should think begging the former leader of their party will wipe away his numerous allegations leveled against them and keep him glued to the party as expected,” he said.
He said most Ghanaians have vowed never to vote for the NDC again due to the Rawlings factor, as such why the worry to give him more opportunities to disgrace the party.
He added the NDC should not paint a picture to look they cannot win elections without the support of Jerry Rawlings.
Kwesi Pratt who spoke on Peace FM’s ‘kokrokoo’ programme on the June 4th celebration emphatically indicated that most of the companies built during Kwame Nkrumah’s era were collapsed and sold under Jerry Rawlings’ watch.
“Is that what we are celebrating or what,” Pratt asked.
National Vice Chairperson of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Anita De-Soso is begging former President Jerry John Rawlings to forgive the party for their behaviour towards him.
Delivering a speech at the 39th anniversary of June 4th uprising held at the Madina Social Welfare School Park in Accra, Anita De-SoSo recounted the help that Mr. Rawlings has done her.
Calling Mr. Rawlings her "dad", the NDC National Vice Chairperson narrated to the gathering that the former President and founder of the party took good care of her and assisted her to gain her position in the party.
She therefore believed she has shown gross ingratitude to Mr. Rawlings and going down on her knees and asking for his forgiveness was the right thing to do.

I,m really surprice that educated people could do that, beg Rawlings the hypocrate and traitor with intention of destroying his own party because of his corrupt wife, who is rather hindrance to the party and is of no relevance in todays politics of Ghana, after his obysmal perfomance as a president for many years.
Mr Rawlings ***barred word*** and let NDC reorganise itself. You've done your bit. If you are seeking relevance, go write your memoires and stop damaging the party.
Rawlings is being controlled and manipulated by his gggreedy eeevil ashianti wife.
But you Kwesi flatt, you have never understood anything since childhood,so this is no news, if i may ask which party do you belong to?. Or you are now N D C?, No wonder you dont have an iota of credibility in you. Aputoooo
Listen to that all knowing ***barred word***
Will you ***barred word*** Kwesi Pratt. You know nothing about the great NDC.
Kwesi, begging this man is strange to me too. Traitor JJ, who abandoned NDC after 2008, undermined them(mind you everything the NPP used against the NDC was supplied by JJ ie babies with sharp teeth, ***barred word***, corrupt etc) till NDC lost power. Instead of JJ rather going back to the NDC, he is intimidating the NDC to go back to him begging. JJ has even gone on the overdrive, undermining the support from Voltarians to the NDC( as a way of inciting Voltarians against the NDC, he recently told them that they have nothing to show for voting NDC-INCREDIBLE). The NDC is behaving like without the man JJ they cannot survive. Just look at the JJ's face when Anita was kneeling down and begging-is this man God, how? How can the NDC let one man torment them like this. If the NDC believes in begging, let them go ahead but I think JJ should be ignored or sacked. I prefer NDC in opposition for a longtime and preparing to move on without JJ than in power with this man dictating and ordering them about.
NO JJ NO Volta. That simple
Eish Mr know all Pratt. and if he doesn't bring in Nkrumah his story will not be complete tweaaa
The Rawlings should never dare to believe that Ghanaians have bought into his preaching of integrity, probity, and accountability so much, as for him to think that he Rawlings as President of Ghana and Leader of the PNDC Era did not indulge or preside over corrupt activities. It is only that he has been lucky and privileged to go scot-free because of his successors' true commitment to Democracy and for it to work for Ghana. The Military Leaders he killed, just like him had genuine cause for their coups and Rawlings should never dare to think that he was better than them in Governance in terms of integrity, probity, and accountability which for me in the case of Rawlings, it is ostensible in purpose but the real goal is cheap popularity. The only difference between him and his colleagues he killed is that he has the benefit to enjoy the principles of Democracy, not because he is smarter but a rogue and evil. You have grievously deprived me of my good cousin General Afrifa he was kind and faithful to me.
