Accra, June 23, Ghanadot - Mr.
Kwesi Pratt Jnr., Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper
has said the worst mistake the former President, Agyekum
Kufuor made during New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration
as president of Ghana was to have appointed Dr. Charles
Wereko Brobby, also known as ‘Tarzan" as Chairman of the
Volta River Authority (VRA) Board, which to him, made NPP
unpopular.
Explaining his point on Peace FM, Mr Pratt said, some of the
major difficulties the NPP government experienced came from
the VRA, the board of which outfit was chaired by Dr Brobby.
He added that, another event which added to their problems
is the Ghana@50 celebration which was also steered by Dr.
Brobby.
Mr. Pratt Jnr.was speaking in reaction to criticisms and
allegations Dr Brobby leveled on him and two of his
colleagues, Ben Ephson of Daily Dispatch newspaper and
Ametor Kwame of Ghana Palava newspaper for calling him a
thief, and alleging that he had embezzled Ghana@50
celebration money.
According to Mr. Pratt, the former President should not have
appointed Dr Brobby in the first place because the latter
campaigned against the NPP before they came to power in the
year 2000.
He was quick to add that the government should immediately
start the investigation on Dr Brobby since he has caused
tremendous financial loss to the state.
Meanwhile, Dr. Brobbey who was also the Chief Executive of
the Ghana@50 Secretariat has welcomed the setting up of the
Presidential Commission of Enquiry into the work of the
Secretariat and the events of the celebrations of the 50th
anniversary of the country’s independence.
Dr. Wereko-Brobby hoped that all those who have made
incessant and very noisy accusations of rot and malfeasance
since the Secretariat was established three years ago will
now come out boldly and fearlessly before the Commission to
substantiate and prove their charges before the good people
of Ghana.
