Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr. has urged President Nana Akufo-Addo to crack the whip on his appointees.
According to him, Nana Addo should begin to take remedial actions to save Ghana an embarrassment in the future.
Kwesi Pratt was commenting on the issue of plagiarism regarding the President's inaugural speech on Saturday, January 7, 2017.
Although the Acting Director of the Communication team at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin apologized for the public gaffe; Mr. Pratt believes the apology is not enough.
“I am willing as a Ghanaian to accept that apology so that we go forward. I’m willing to forgive so that we can all move forward. But I think it is important to take some remedial action and the apology may not be enough," he stated.
He noted that the accusation that President Akufo-Addo lifted passages from some world leaders without acknowledging them is a major disgrace to the nation.
"The extent to which we have been embarrassed as a people, I think that the President needs to begin to crack the whip . . . If he doesn’t begin from the very beginning, there will be a problem in the future for the President and I hope that the President will take some action in order to assuage the feelings of embarrassment, of betrayal and so on that the Ghanaian people have felt as a result."
