Hypocrisy in the Highest order!!!

Hypocrisy in the Highest order!!!

I listened to Kwesi Pratt's comments on an article by a a certain columnist in the 'Punch newspaper' on 3th November on Peace FM.

Much as I am against the language the writer used in describing certain people, I am surprised the way Kwesi Pratt condemned the writer and forgot what Rawlings, Tony Aidoo and others have described Ashantis before.

The issue of tribalism was so much used by the National Deceivers Conmen (NDC) to win power.

I would like to know,apart from the insults the writer used, is his article right or wrong?

What did the current Vice President say to the people of Upper East or West? that ex-President Kuffour did not respect them for leaving them out of his cabinet.

How many Akans or Ashantis are in Mills Government or Cabinet now?

We should be objective and not call a spade a big spoon.

If it's about Ashantis, everyone keeps quiet but if it's about other tribes, then people are up in arms.

Is it because Ashantis are peace loving people, their leniency is being taking as weakness?

I hope people would use the same language and strength to condemn such articles and comments about Ashantis.

God bless Ghana.
