The Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr, has asked critics of Prof Frimpong-Boateng to back off until he's proven guilty.
The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has been asking for the head of the Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Prof. Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng after some excavators got missing and subsequently a leaked video.
In the video, Horace Ekow Ewusi, the NPP former Vice Chairman of the Agona West Constituency, is heard discussing with Prof Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, how they can engage with some party folks on some mining concessions in order to raise money from the activity to support the party.
Ekow Ewusi, allegedly said he went to the Minister’s office with John Boadu with a request to mining so that the proceeds would be used to support the NPP.
National Communications Officer of the NDC, Sammy Gyamfi insists Prof Frimpong-Boateng should be relieved of his post.
However, since no investigation has proved him guilty, Kwesi Pratt says he will give the renowned surgeon the benefit of the doubt.
“I have worked with him and I know he is not a bad person and I will not follow these rumors and speak against such a person. However, if investigations prove otherwise, that’s a different matter, but for now, I am ready to give him the benefit of the doubt and that is what we should all do . . . everything should not be about political gain," he opined on Peace FM’s morning show 'Kokrokoo’.

How much did Prof pay you for this PR work, Kwesi Pratt? Stomach journalist!
Do we even care about your support for Prof or opinion? Any discerning Ghanaian knows that you are a diabolical journalist who is using clandestine means to get Mahama back to power to continue his stealing. Anybody who watched that so called video evidence with a clean mind can clearly see that there is nothing in that video that incriminates Prof Boateng. Even Anas has tried several times to incriminate Prof but he has not been able to get anything against him. How could anyone with proper reasoning ability fault anyone who wants to Find ways to get party boys to mine on LEGALLY acquired mining concession in order to help their party? Will anybody in his right senses drive his party supporters out of any legal business? A meeting to find ways to help party boys engage in LEGAL mining is what is in the video and not anything about missing excavators. The NDC should bow their heads in shame for attempting to throw dirt on Prof. I am so surprised that the NDC is refusing to mention Ekow Awusi who is more culpable in the whole excavator issue. Perhaps he has been fronting for some of the NDC galamsey kingpins.
