Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr has criticized government communicators for exaggerating the amount of developmental projects the Mahama administration is undertaking nationwide.

“There is this talk about transformation; so much talk about transformation and sometimes I just wonder. Sometimes also, government communicators have the tendency to exaggerate and when you exaggerate, you give your opponent to you use it against you,” he remarked.

During the week, the President commissioned a community day Senior High School at Kwaobaah Nyanoa in the Eastern Region.

He also visited Kasoa in the Central Region to break grounds for the commencement of work on the Kasoa interchange.
According to Mr. Pratt, the expansion of access to education by building more schools is not transformation.

“There can be genuine and real transformation only if there is a paradigm shift – complete and fundamental paradigm shift. If the fundamentals of our economy and so on do not change to the extent that Ghanaians begin to own their own resources…and that we are exploiting all of these resources for the improvement of our lives, that will be the transformation Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah envisaged,” he said.

He however, argued that although the government has done remarkably well in infrastructural developments, more needs to be done.

“When it comes to infrastructural development, I will always salute the Mahama administration because he is doing incredible things. This government has done remarkably well when it comes to infrastructural development…and I am happy but there is still a lot more to be done even for education.”
