Kwesi Pratt Jnr. is surprised at pundits who are criticizing former President John Mahama for promising to legalise okada business in the country.
Former President John Mahama sparked backlash when he promised to make the commercialization of okada legal after it was made illegal in the erstwhile Mills-Mahama administration.
President Akufo-Addo has described it as populist and a sign of inconsistency.
“A law was made during the Mills/Mahama era. Today he has changed his mind. He said he is going to legalise it. How can that provide more jobs than NABCO and Planting for foods and jobs? We have provided over two million jobs with these social intervention initiatives. So how can you say that okada will provide more jobs? It’s just populist".
Speaking to this on Friday's edition of Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', Kwesi Pratt said: "Can’t one change his mind? Why do we speak at both sides of our mouths? If he made it illegal and now, he has changed his mind what is wrong with that?.

INCONSISTENCY IS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR THE PRESODENCY, PRATT. YOU CANNOT RUN A COUNTRY ON TRY AND ERROR. SADLY ENOUGH, KWESI PRATT HAS NEVER GROWN WITH OLD AGE. HE ALWAYS SPONSORS MISCAREANT IDEAS.
The correct thing to say is "can't one change one’s mind? Ghana education for you. Half baked journalist. This group is certainly not our best.
Massa Pratt some change of minds are legitimate and some are deceptive. Someone can make a u turn just to get favour. So it will also be appropriate to tell the people first while it was a taboo in your own time but now the 'holy' job for you. I think if his explanations come Ghanaians might understand him but to change overnight in just few months to election is suspicious.
