The Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr seems not to be happy with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
He is of the view that the financial organization is ‘untruthful and unreliable’.
His comment comes on the back of commendation from the IMF that Ghana’s economy is in good shape.
According to Kwesi Pratt whenever the IMF praises you, you must take it with a pinch of salt.
"I get amazed when there is a whole lot of debate on IMF because there’s a history that shows they are not reliable and untruthful. They didn’t speak the truth to President Kufuor and they didn’t speak the truth to former President rawlings; they have never spoken the truth and whenever they praise you, you should be careful because it might be diabolical” he said while contributing to a panel discussion on Peace FM morning show ‘Kokrokoo’.
He went on further to give examples and instances to back his claim.

beware of IMF if go there to take they money
While we listen to their commendations, we should not lose sight of our goal but continue to work to strengthen our economy.
Kwesi Pratt is talking as if we are still in the Neo-colonial era when Nkrumah was then making a strong relevant case against imperialism. I believe many intelligent Ghanaians, the like of Kwesi, might have had the first-hand benefit of wisdom to deal with the IMF of today's Global World. China had shown us the way that, strictly going by the Ideological beliefs is not necessary deserving when you want to develop and produce goods and services to bring your people out of poverty. You have to be creative and think outside the box to get your priorities right. Today our own experts, Africans are working with the IMF in high positions and I don't believe that Kwesi Pratt loves and cares for Ghana or Africa more than them.
KWASI PRATT and his hatred for NPP is amazing he hates it when govt is comm emended for a good work done if it had been his first love the NDC he will be all over the place PRAISING THE WORLD BANK he i don't take him serious hes lost his relevance in Ghanaian politics
If the praise had gone for the NDC Pratt wouldn't have cautioned this way but would rather have agreed with them. Because it is in favour of NPP, Pratt has a problem with it. The most inconsistent and double-tongue character ever in history! Pratt speaks differently when he appears on Radio Gold and Peace FM, despite discussing the same topic.
So do NPP supporters also insult Kweku Baako like they have been insulting Pratt? Just a question since both of them seem to be doing the bidding of the two major parties.
Listen to this discredited rotten cassava
Listen to this miserable village ***barred word*** nation wrecker Kwesi Pratt. If it were to be NDC in power now, this subnormal abhorrent ***barred word*** bastard Kwesi Pratt will use this statement from IMF as a good campaign message for NDC on radio stations across the country.
