Audio Attachment:Listen to Kwesi Pratt Jnr. |
Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr., has lambasted the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of Ghana Police for detaining the National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, for hours.
The NDC National Chairman was invited by the CID days ago but he failed to honor the invite and rather reported himself to the CID on Monday, February 4, 2019.
Mr. Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo joined by executives and high-profile members of the NDC went to the Police Headquarters in Accra Monday morning but was granted bail in the evening.
The CID has come under intense criticism from the party's rank and file for holding up their National Chairman in their custody for hours till evening before allowing him to go.
NDC Communicator, Fred Agbenyo speaking to host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' on Tuesday, February 5, 2019, held strongly that the CID did not comport themselves well because to him, they unnecessarily delayed the executives and members of the party as well as their National Chairman.
Addressing the issue on 'Kokrokoo', Kwesi Pratt also rebuked the CID wondering why they failed to let Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo leave the place earlier but rather held him for such long hours.
He stated that both the New Patriotic Party and NDC have the tendency of doing that whenever they come into power but he expected the CID to have conducted themselves differently to set a good example.
Although he wouldn't agree that Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo should have been given preferential treatment since no person is above the law, Mr. Pratt noted that such behaviour should be a thing of the past.
“Every citizen is entitled to the same treatment by the Police . . . if you invite someone and he reaches there at 8 O’clock but had to wait for 5 hours before you call him, what is that intended to achieve?" he questioned.

bcos npp don't pay your daughter's school school feels you always find fault with them'
I think kokrokoo is loosing it's relevance. People like kwasi Pratt can give you migraine with their analysis and ostrich dance. As for baako, the little said about him, the better. All these people are nothing but double agents who feed on political spoils. For almost 2 years now, I haven't listened to kokrokoo on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. It's now nauseating.
look at this ediot where were you when ofosu ampofo was dodging the police CID, a dishonest nokofioo journalist
Clear sign of them not knowing what to accuse the man of. With Kennedy Agyapong on one side ca;ling for treason charge and Wontumi on the other threatening demonstration, the BNI are confused. They are under pressure, they as one question and go to see abrewa before the can ask another.So sad
I have thought am the only one who has stopped listening to Kokrokoo on Tuesdays because of this H:Y:P:O:C:R:I:T:E BAFUUN called Kwasi Pratt
Every body was talking about chairman's tape and so Kwasi also had to talk some. Ahba Kwasi
Kwesi too-known Pratt why didn't you say this when the NDC was in power? The most annoying old-school journalists in Ghana is Kwesi Pratt and Kwaku Baako.
that is why me mohammed when it is Tuesday for KOKROOKO morning show l dont listing because of kwasi pratt he dont speak sense
THANK GOD I HAVE STOPPED LISTENING TO KOKROOKO WHEN KWASI PRATT IS ON. AN EMBODIMENT OF D1$HONESTY. A CONTRARIAN WOEFULLY RELUCTANT TO BE TRUTHFUL IN HIS LIFE. FROM HIS CONSTANT BETRAYAL OF HIS ONCE LOYAL FRIEND KWAKU BAAKO AND OTHERS DURING THE DAYS OF THE REVOLUTION TO NOW WHEN HE HAS BECOME 1RRELEVANT TO OUR POLITICS, THE MAN HAS DEMONSTRATED HIS INABILITY TO BE TRUTHFUL. ONLY KWAME SEFA KAYI WILL ENTERTAIN HIM ON HIS SHOW. WHERE WAS KWASI PRATT WHEN THE 1Y1NG ELDER OFOSU AMPOFO KEPT THE CID BOSSES WAITING FOR DAYS LAST WEEK?
Infact kwesi prat , o ye fuun
