The Flagstaff House must work else... - Kwesi Pratt

According to Mr. Pratt Jnr, the Flagstaff House “must work because if does not work, we are all in trouble because that is the seat of our government.”

 

The Managing Editor of the Insight Newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr was of the view that the Chief of Staff must be vested with authority to deal with “every and any member of staff working in the Flagstaff House.”

“There ought to be a certain hierarchy which must be respected. Everybody must be under the Chief of Staff’s control,” he said during a panel discussion on Radio Gold.

Some presidential staffers working at the Flagstaff House have been accused to engaging in activities and making utterances which is denting the image of the country’s seat of government.

There have also been allegations of some persons acting arbitrarily without recourse to laid down procedures at the Flagstaff House.

He said if this is not done, “discipline will break down and such errors will occur so the Chief of Staff must be allowed and empowered to discipline people when discipline is needed. He must be in charge.”

The veteran journalist stressed that “the Chief of Staff must begin to work as the boss otherwise, there is a problem because the stories that we are all hearing…Sanity needs to be fully established in the Flagstaff House and from what I do know, I think that in terms of administration, the Chief of Staff is the boss and must begin acting as the boss otherwise, many more things will happen to our embarrassment and unfortunately, to the embarrassment of the President himself.”
