Seasoned journalist, Kwesi Pratt Jnr. has asked Statesmen in the country to chronicle their experiences and knowledge into a memoir to help posterity.
Speaking to host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' programme, Kwesi Pratt who wondered why Ghanaian Statesmen do not compile a book of their lives, however, believed it is because they have to protect relationships and the nation.
He opined that should the Statesmen attempt to write memoirs, it may affect the stability of the country.
"You, don't want to destroy friends, to destroy relatives and to put people in trouble. Achieving that balance is not easy and you keep fighting with your conscience all the time," he said.
Mr. Pratt was commenting on the demise of Mr. Joseph Henry Mensah, an economist, politician and a Statesman, which raised the question of why he didn't leave behind a compendium of his experiences to future generations.
Addressing the issue, he noted that the fear to ruin relationships is a major contributor to the lack of memoirs on the part of Ghanaian Statesmen, and further disclosed on the programme that he has in his possession a letter written by a Ghanaian Statesman (name withheld) which when published would not augur well for him and the nation; therefore vowing not to release the letter.
" . . I got this letter in 1992 . . . Freddie Blay knows about the content of this letter. I made two copies of the letter. I kept one copy of this letter and gave one to Kweku Baako. I gave him one copy of this letter on condition that this letter will never be published," he disclosed on 'kokrokoo'
