The Managing Editor of the Insight Newspaper, Mr Kwasi Pratt, has described the former Chief of Staff, Mr Kwadwo Mpiani as a matured statesman, concerning a statement the former Chief of staff made on air concerning the Ghana@50 Committee for enquiry.
According to the Social Commentator, Mr Mpiani disclosed that he was happy that the President had set up a Committee for Enquiry to investigate the expenditure of Ghana@50 to ensure transparency and accountability. He stated �this is a matured statement.�
The social brain was reacting to yesterday�s Public hearing of the Presidential Commission set up to inquire into the activities of the Ghana@50 secretariat. At its sitting, the commission invited the executives of Prudential Bank to testify about the bank�s transactions with the secretariat. It was revealed that the Bank granted a short-term credit facility of GH�10 million to the secretariat which according to the Managing Director of the Bank, Mr Sekyere-Abankwah, cannot be considered as a loan.
Mr Pratt however criticized the section of the public for allegedly pointing fingers at the NDC Administration claiming it is harassing former government officials. He stated �even Mr Mpiani himself is satisfied with the committee, so why are some of us describing it as �witch hunting�?
