BNI Probes Kwesi Pratt Jnr

The Bureau of National Investigation (BNI) is busily combing through the life of Mr Kwesi Pratt Jnr, Editor of ''The Insight'' in the hope that it may find some mud.

The first sign of trouble came when the BNI requested for documents on a Honda Integra Saloon car, which the Editor used for two years, from the Vehicle Examination and Licensing Department (VELD).

The vehicle with registration number GR 5343L belongs to the Editor?s sister-in-law, Madam Charlotte Aba Pratt, now resident in London. It was first used in London by Charlotte and her husband, Kofi Kakraba and later sent to Ghana for their use during holidays.

Following the breakdown of Kwesi Pratt?s car, his brothers decided to make the Honda Integra available for his use.

Later, Kofi Kakraba bought a second Honda and offered it to the Editor of Insight while the first one was given to his other brother, Kofi Pratt, who is a priest of the Anglican church.

The Insight says the BNI has already looked into the tax liability of ''The Insight'' and found nothing incriminating.
