Kwesi Pratt, the Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper has validated the #fixthecountry campaign which was initiated by some Ghanaian youth who believe the hardship in the country is unbearable and have asked the government to be up and doing to make things easy for the ordinary Ghanaian.
According to the initiators of the campaign, the movement is geared towards making Ghana great again and also to improve the living conditions of Ghanaians.
Asked on his take on the issue, Peace FM’s” Kokrokoo”, Mr Pratt explained that the fix the country” campaigners’ reasons for embarking on their protest is justifiable.
The group gave a reason that they were embarking on the demonstration like the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo did years ago when he joined thousands on the ”Kum Me Preko” protest.
They also listed a number of concerns like the irregular power supply, fuel price hikes, and so forth that they would like the President to fix.
Kwesi Pratt believes these concerns were also the concerns of the ”Kum Me Preko” protesters for which the President was a part.
He also alluded to the President’s criticisms of the late President John Atta Mills’ administration where he (Nana Addo) told the late President to fix the economy because he was elected Head of State to resolve their plight of the citizens, not for him to complain about previous government’s performance.
“It scares and alarms that some people say they want to do what the President did, and some people are annoyed. Why are you angry? What the President did, was it not a good thing at the time? If it was a good thing, why can’t someone else replicate it?”
“Didn’t our President once say we should fix the country? He said it. Do you remember when he told Professor Mills to fix the country because he is the Head of State? It’s the same thing they’re saying. There’s no difference,” he emphasized.
