Kwesi Pratt Jnr, the Managing Editor of the Insight Newspaper, has criticized President Akufo-Addo for his recent comments suggesting that road approvals are contingent on political affiliations.

Mr Pratt expressed concern over the implications of the President's remarks, stating that they could incite public anger and division.

During a campaign event for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate in the Ejisu by-election, President Akufo-Addo implied that only NPP Members of Parliament could effectively advocate for development in their constituencies during his tenure.

In response, Pratt remarked, "Nana Akufo-Addo went to Ejisu to campaign for the NPP candidate, and he was saying that he gives approval for all the roads in the country before they can be constructed. What does that mean? So, does that mean that in all the places where there are no good roads, he hasn’t given approval for the roads to be constructed? What a statement!"

Mr Pratt further expressed disappointment, stating, "I am sad because I thought that as a president, he was leading us all, but he has become a president for a political party."
