Fleet Of Cars In Prez Convoy Too Many..& Speed Is 'Totally Crazy' - Pratt

-


 



Editor-in-Chief of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt has questioned the procession of vehicles that travel with the President on assignments.
Speaking on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo', Kwesi Pratt was of a strong view that the long fleet of vehicles that accompany the President's convoy is unnecessary.


Three months ago, a presidential press corps travelling with President John Dramani Mahama was involved in an accident resulting in the death of one journalist and another critically injured.

On Monday, 12th October, 2015, another group of media personnel, this time a regional team attached to the presidential convoy were also involved in an accident in the Western Region.

The accident reportedly occurred as the team was returning from the region after commissioning a new Senior High School.

Although the journalists sustained minor injuries, one of them, Obrempong Yaw Ampofo, who is Citi FM’s Western Regional Correspondent, has been admitted at the Kwesimintsim Polyclinic in Takoradi. 

But hours after that near-tragic incident, Presidential Staffer Stan Dogbe took to his Facebook wall and dismissed claims of any accident "involving the Flagstaff House Press Corps or any vehicle from the Flagstaff House" in the Western Region.

According to him, "the team with the President on his ‪#‎Changinglives‬ tour of the Western Region has long arrived in the Central Region," and further lashed out at the media for their "irresponsible reports".
