05/05/2009 23:50

The managing editor of the Insight newspaper, Mr. Kwesi Pratt, has openly rejected an ambassadorial position allegedly offered to him by President Mills, and has criticized the President for travelling to the United Kingdom with a 25-member delegation. Mr. Pratt openly rejected the offer on Peace FM’s ‘Kokrokoo’ Morning Show, and disclosed that former President Kufuor also gave him the same offer during his tenure of office but he rejected it, because he has always had the passion of being a media man.

He added that no politician can buy him. According to Pratt, his colleague, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako of the New Crusading Guide was also given the same offer by the immediate past president, Mr. Kufuor in 2001, but he too rejected it. Mr. Pratt was speaking in reaction to today’s Daily Guide newspaper story headlined “Mills Drops Bombshell”. The paper reported that Mr. Kwesi Pratt has been penciled for an ambassadorial appointment to Cuba with oversight responsibilities for a number of Caribbean countries, as well as Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela.


After rejecting the ambassadorial position, Mr. Pratt criticized President Mills for allegedly going to the United Kingdom with a 25-member delegation. His reason was that it will cost the country lots of money.
