The Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr has bemoaned the 'deliberate attempt' on the part of the ruling government to distort history.

He was reacting on the commemoration of August 4 as Founders' Day; a day which has been set aside to be observed as a statutory public holiday.

Founder's Day was formerly observed on 21st September of every year. However, the ruling Akufo-Addo administration changed it to Founders' Day; August 4 after the passing of the Public Holiday Amendment Bill into law.

According to the NPP, Kwame Nkrumah is not the only founder of Ghana.

Kwesi Pratt reacting to this on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo' said the 'distortion' will be changed once another government comes to power.

"Who on earth doesn't know Nkrumah was part of the founders; he has been removed totally, this 4th August, Kwame Nkrumah was not even in the country; so if this is not a deliberate attempt to change history then what is it? But it will not be like this forever, a time will come it will be changed again and we will know where the truth actually lies," he stated.
