Pratt Admonishes The NPP

Pratt's admonishment comes after the acting chairman of the NPP [ Freddie Blay] said the NPP cannot guarantee peace after the general elections if there is no transparency in the November polls.

In dissent, Ace Journalist, Kwesi Pratt argued that the NPP's quest for power went downhill due to verbal slippages that transpired in previous elections.

“Anybody who comes out and says that if so and so were to happen in this elections, we cannot guarantee peace, is not saying anything which is substantially different from 'all die be die' - it is the same thing. I have read commentary by leading members of the party who are calculating the damage that this 'all die be die' comment did to them in the last election. I’ve read Arthur Kennedy and co. So you need to have learnt important lessons from the verbal slippages that occurred in last elections, but now it is getting worse.

Who says you are the guarantor of peace in this country? People have no idea what violence can do to all of us, including them (NPP). The people who are publicly and happily preaching violence, they don’t know what they are doing. I don’t want any violence in this country. I insist on the right thing being done and we should continue to use the appropriate channel to make sure that the right things are done.

What is IPAC for, if political parties cannot go to IPAC and argue their cases for change in procedure and ensure that things happen properly and are only going on radio to threaten us, then what is the need for IPAC?".
