Seasoned Journalist, Kwesi Pratt has poured his frustrations that his submissions on national issues are usually taken with a political twist.
Mr. Pratt shared his worries on Peace FM's "Krokrokoo" show Tuesday morning while speaking on the Government of Ghana's resort to an IMF bailout.
The Editor-in-Chief of the newspaper reiterated his stance that the IMF bailout will not help Ghana achieve the needed progress but in expounding on his position on the international financial assistance to the country, Mr. Pratt was alarmed by critics' statements that tend to say he is on National Democratic Congress (NDC) payroll.
Speaking to host Kwami Sefa Kayi, he said; "When you talk, they brand you an NDC member. When you change your mouth, you are called NPP member. One person can be an NDC member in the morning, in the afternoon he becomes an NPP person and in the evening, he is said to be PNC member."
"When you talk in the morning, they say this person is an NPP staunch person. When you say something different in the afternoon, you turn into an NDC member and in the evening, when you say a different thing, you are called a PNC person", he added.
Mr. Pratt wondered why his submissions should be linked to a political party.
"What kind of country are we building?...Why? Why do we worry ourselves like this?", he exclaimed.

Massa! your posture tells.
You have no credibility! Who doesn't know that you are an NDC man? Just be bold and come out ! You have no credibility among level headed Ghanaians
AABBBA, KWESI, DON'T PRETEND. YOU CANNOT DENY THE FACTS THAT: (1) YOU ARE AN ARDENT CPP AND NKRUMAIST, AND FOR THAT REASON IN OPPOSITION TO THE DANQUAH-BUSIA-DOMBO-ANTO TRADITION AND EVERYTHING THEY STAND FOR. (2) YOU IN IN BED WITH THE NDC, THE MAJORITY OF WHICH MEMBERS TRACE THEIR ROOTS TO THE CPP AND NKRUMAISM. (2) YOU LOST YOUR TRACK AND A SENIOR JOURNALIST AS YOU ARE, AND WORN A POLITICAL LENSE THAT LEND CREDENCE TO YOUR COMFORTABILITY WITH THE NDC, WHO THINK THEY ARE THE ANTECEDENTS OF NKRUMAISM. KWESI, YOU HAVE ABANDONED YOUR OWN CPP AND NOW OWE ALLEGIANCE TO THE NDC, AND YOU THAT. BOW YOUR HEAD IN SHAME, MY BROTHER.
This is ***barred word*** of the highest order, Mr Pratt chose journalism as your profession, and politicians chose politics as their profession, so allow politicians to do their professional job and you also do your own professional job.
This is because we do not trust some of you pressmen. Most of you are corrupt and you need to sort your corrupt practices out. Every Ghanaian knows that some of you take bribes to speak against good things being done by the government. Stop that and put Ghana first.
