Kwesi Pratt Down But Not Out

The "veteran demonstrator" Kwesi Pratt jnr. was reported sick and on admission at an undisclosed hospital in Accra. Pratt jnr who has been demonstrating in both Ghana and abroad at the age of 15 is well known in the Ghanaian political set up and currently one of the few journalist marking the NPP government "boot for boot".

Since Kwesi fell sick on the 23rd May 2005 some few days to the "WAHALA 4 Demonstration" in Kumasi people anticipated that the demo will be a flop but rather it turn out to be the biggest among all the "WAHALA" demonstration .It was reported that Kwesi jumped from the hospital bed when he saw the clip on TV on Friday and immediately recovered however ,he was down again on saturday and had to be rushed back to hospital were he is responding to treatment.

Kwesi says "l am only down with fatigue but not out , l will surely be back". Meanwhile this morning Mr Asamoah Boateng sent a goodwill message to Kwesi Pratt through Randy Abbey of MTV. He advised Kwesi to rest since he cannot continue demonstrating for the rest of his life.
