Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr. has urged President Nana Akufo-Addo to crack the whip on his appointees.
According to him, Nana Addo should begin to take remedial actions to save Ghana an embarrassment in the future.
Kwesi Pratt was commenting on the issue of plagiarism regarding the President's inaugural speech on Saturday, January 7, 2017.
Although the Acting Director of the Communication team at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin apologized for the public gaffe; Mr. Pratt believes the apology is not enough.
“I am willing as a Ghanaian to accept that apology so that we go forward. I’m willing to forgive so that we can all move forward. But I think it is important to take some remedial action and the apology may not be enough," he stated.
He noted that the accusation that President Akufo-Addo lifted passages from some world leaders without acknowledging them is a major disgrace to the nation.
"The extent to which we have been embarrassed as a people, I think that the President needs to begin to crack the whip . . . If he doesn’t begin from the very beginning, there will be a problem in the future for the President and I hope that the President will take some action in order to assuage the feelings of embarrassment, of betrayal and so on that the Ghanaian people have felt as a result."

Ah Kwesi, worse things happened under Mahama's watch you never asked him to crack the whip. Nana has just got in look at you! do you know any shama at all?
Kwesi Pratt does not know shame. Nana Addo will start cracking the whip from Woyome so he better return the GHC 2000.00 that he collected.
Look at the ***barred word*** journalist. This is a dead news. Where were you when the issue came up. It's not surprising you didn't hear the Mahama embarrassing house issue. Hmmmmmmm Pratt the Wayome bribe accomplice.
This evil man is at it again. Don't give him a space?
Uncle Kwesi Pratt, President Nana Akufo Addo will not only crack the whip on his appointees but on Woyome also to collect the 51 million ghana cedis,there that Woyome will also begin to collect from all those who benefitted from the scandal and you will cough your 2000 ghana cedis he gave you.You hypocrite and soon every Ghanaian will see your disgrace.You manage to speak for NDC and got scholarship for your daughter to study in UK and also got 4x4 vehicle from them.How on earth will Woyome will give you money, what sort of work do you do form him.
Peace fm I think you should rethink your list of restricted words. George B_U_S_H is his name but now your platform will not allow us to quote his name. a word like I_G_N_O_R_A_N_C_E cannot be used. when did words like this become and insult. I think you guys need to grow up and too.. haba am sure very soon we will have to stop commenting if this uninformed censorship does not stop. yabre mo!!! ad3n??
This Dracula faced man has lost his credibility.its about media stop inviting him else loose business
***barred word*** people like Kwasi Pratt should know that silence is Golden. If you have no idea about IPR at least do some research before trying to be an authority on the matter you want to discuss. Everyone should go and read the copyright act and international laws on Intellectual Property Rights. Then you will understand why George ***barred word*** who was not the originator did not quote his source. PLease read, research before you expose your I_g_n_o_r_a_n_c_e!!!!
GOD WILL PUNISH. SHAME ON YOU DONT HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY
Did Mahama ever crack any whip? Did YOU ever advise Mahama to crack the whip? Especially after the Muntie3 saga? If not then please use that zip around your mouth and just zzzzzzip it!
