Kwesi Pratt Jnr. has hit hard at the erstwhile National Democratic Congress (NDC) government, claiming they did a "useless work".
Kwesi Pratt explained that one of the factors that led to the NDC's defeat in the 2016 elections was because the government failed to bring relief to Ghanaians in their budget statements.
According to him, the erstwhile Mahama administration was supposed to read a budget that would have a direct influence on the citizens but rather made a lot of "useless" interventions that didn't benefit the population.
Mr. Pratt was commenting on the 2017 budget statement by the ruling government dubbed the "Asempa" Budget which is translated as the "Good news budget".
He noted that if the NDC had presented the budget statement by Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta to the nation; it perhaps would have remained in power.
To him, a budget is a "a political instrument that shows the direction of the government and this budget defined that thing clearly", " . . two of the best examples is so-called abolition of taxes on spare parts . . . The second one is the Kayayei thing. That is how the budget should be. I’m not saying it’s wrong. When you finish reading a budget, you have to see which sections of the society are going to benefit and which sections of the society are not going to benefit.”
“That’s what our brethren in the NDC didn’t do and so suffered. If you do Circle interchange, you this or that, you do a green book and if you don’t direct it at a certain constituency make people own the budget or aspects of the budget; in terms of politics, you’re doing a useless work. That’s why you did a lot of useless works and this is a very important point for me. All the work they did, in the final analysis, look at the election results. So, people did not own the work they did," Mr. Pratt stressed.

Kwesi NDC did all those big projects not because they were thinking about the ordinary Ghanaian, but they were thinking about their pockets and what they will get. It provided an opportunity to double and triple contract prices through sole sourcing to enrich themselves. That is why they were carelessly borrowing just to take their cut.
This guy talking bola! And the media falling for his ***barred word***!
Hmmmmmm I have always been saying people should not take Kwesi Pratt serious! Is he not the same person who was applauding John Mahama and equating him to Nkrumah in terms of development? Is he not the one who lauded Mahama for distributing those fake school sandals? Since when did he become wise to understand that the NDC did lot of things that did were not beneficial to Ghanaian s ? AAAhhhhhh! Kwesi Paaaaaaaaaa!
Kwesi, if I am you I will be quiet for a long time. All these insults you are suffering from people will have effect on you. You know the saying that if you throw a lot of mud at the wall some will stick. A word to the wise ...
is prrat still in Ghana. I heard him be4 the election that if npp win he can not stay in ghana
highest form of hypocrisy Mr Pratt. what happened to your praise singing about this so called infrastructure u are referring to now as a ***barred word*** works ! By the fruits ye shall no them may be now the quantity and quality of food on Mr Pratt table has reduce and eye & mind don open well well....
It's obvious Kwesi Pray, is being ungrateful to his own party which he has also contributed to. If NDC fails, then he as individual is a failure because, he never contributed anything worthy to the party which he now stands to accuse of failing to adhere to the plight of Ghanaians. Every honest citizen in this country knows that, an iron would have to go through fire to be made useful to serve the purpose of man and so must Ghanaian have to go through what was neccessary at the time to put infrastructure in place to make life better and worth living. That is the true spirit of patriotism.
If Pratt thinks he is going to attack his party (NDC) and thus find favour with the NPP, then he better wise up. The NDC foot soldiers will soon come after him because he has benefited far more than them.
Two face Dogs, ***barred word***)))
