The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Youth Organizer, Henry Nana Boakye, popularly known as Nana B on Friday's edition of Peace FM's morning show 'kokrokoo' programme, decided to list ten factories under the One District One Factory (1D1F) programme.
The mention of the $20million Integrated Compost and Recycling Plant Limited by Waste Management Expert, Zoomlion Ghana Limited, however, brought an altercation in the studio as the Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr debunked the assertion that the plant was constructed under the 'One District One Factory' programme.
Kwesi Pratt insisted that he was at the commissioning of the plant and that nothing of a 'One District One Factory' programme collaboration was mentioned.
"The statement they made at the inauguration I still have it," Mr. Pratt said.
Henry Nana Boakye in reaction criticised Kwesi Pratt for always not being satisfied with anything the ruling NPP government does.
"You are not happy I am mentioning this but it is not my fault, you are not happy, I know . . . I know you are not happy the government is performing . . . you are not excited one bit," he intimated, a statement the renowned journalist described as 'unfair'.
According to Kwesi Pratt it is not fair for Nana B to be talking to him like that.
"This is most unfair . . . how can you talk like that, how can you talk like that, it is not fair to be talking to me like that my friend . . . it's not correct . . . you're sitting on radio and doing this," Mr. Pratt fumed.
However, host Kwami Sefa Kayi stated that Zoomlion actually registered the plant under the 'One District One Factory' initiative as to tap into the incentives that come with it.

We need people like Nana Boakye to call out people like Pratt. Pratt will never be happy with anything NPP does so calling him out was fantastic, although would not change. What is unfair about what Nana B said? Free speech and Pratt has a chance to say his mind. Pratt thinks he is the only one who has opinion about what the government does. We also have opinion on you as a Journalist. Well done Nana B
Akufo-Addo's administration is doing its best to help the country. However, real GDP per capita is still low, although it has increased over the last 12 years significantly. It is lower than the world average of $17600. That is an issue that must be tackled. Some people feel that we should take about 30 to 40 more years to get to the world average GDP per capita (PPP). However, if you subscribe to Nkrumah's vision, and take into consideration the fact that countries like Malaysia took just 30 years to become developed, then we would say that GDP per capita (PPP) is not growing fast enough, although it doubled from 2010 to 2020. If the population and economic growth continue at their current rates, then by 2030 the GDP per capita (PPP) should be about $12000. However, $12000 then will be less valuable than $12000 today.
Kwasi Pratt is just doing the work his pay masters paid him to do. He calls on investigation into the missing excavators but sees on wrong on his paid master John Mahama and his Airbus 4 million dollar bribes.
KWESI PRATT IT'S BETTER TO BE FAIR FOR YOUR OWN CREDIBILITY; (THAT IS IF YOU HAVE ANY LEFT). CLOSING YOUR MIND TO CLEAR FACTS WILL ALWAYS BRING YOU SHAAAME
Oh so if we talking about existing factories then JM built 7000 factories. Eli concert paaa nie. I heard B5 in Tema too is 1D1F. Look concert no Yaa dosoo dodo
Oh but how can you compare this idyot to Sammy Gyamfi. A guy who responds to debate with slap. He always sound childish. Even the npp knows if not for tribalism this guys does not befit his position. Ask Samson Lardi
So by this logic, from Boakye, it means the likes of Kwaku baako and others journalist were not happy during NDC time because Mahama is performing. Anytime I listen to this gentleman I want to throw up, he always looks juvenile
The truth is one. Kwesi pratt hates Nana Addo and the NPP period. Let those like him hail after all the adage goes "birds of feathers flock together".who is Kwaesi pratt after all. A nonentity like his51 admires.
I can't even stop laughing why do npp guys think that they are better than anybody in as much that you are not a member of dat elephant party please the argument about economic indicators when ndc was bragging about it at de time inflation was around 8 percent in Mills era what was bawumias response u see that is the hypocrisy of the highest order.you can take it or leave it that young Guy is better communicator than almost all the communicators I have listen to from npp
This what I don’t like about NDC as a political party, the company still exists why not the company deny or otherwise instead of you disagreeing without facts
