Why Kwesi Pratt Backs Mills

Spokesperson for the Rawlingses, Kofi Adams, has taken a swipe at the professional integrity of the Managing Editor of the Insight Newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr., by claiming that the outspoken journalist always touts the credentials of President John Evans Atta Mills and wishes for his second term in office because that is where his �bread is buttered�. According to him, Kwesi Pratt always wears his heart on his sleeve regarding who he prefers to win the NDC flagbearership race and will stop at nothing in ensuring that President Mills emerges the eventual victor so his �bread can continuously be buttered�. Clearly riled by Mr Pratt�s assertion that President Mills is �two thousand times� better than the former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, the Deputy General Secretary of the governing NDC, who was speaking on Peace FM�s Kokrokoo Morning Show, indicted the seasoned journalist as one of the detractors of the NDC party. �Kwesi Pratt�s wish is that President Mills continues to be in power and he has never hidden that wish, so he will do anything to ensure that. His support is for President Mills and he continues to say that Mills is better than Nana Konadu because that is where his bread is buttered. �yes, that is where his bread is buttered so that will be his wish,� he asserted. Amidst protestations from Kwesi Pratt, he (Kofi Adams) uncharitably went overdrive by labeling the staunch Nkrumaist a hypocrite and one who usually double-speaks on radio. �His support is for President Mills�; sometimes Pratt says one thing on Peace FM and makes an entirely different submission on Radio Gold. He wishes for Mills to be in power�he will continue to work for that as he has been doing always,� he revealed.
