He pointed out that anyone who will say that no development is taking place is a blatant liar.

“Nobody can say that nothing is happening because a lot is happening. By the end of this year, more than a 100 schools would be added to the existing stock of SHS…You can see the general improvement in the road infrastructure…normally, by this time, there would have been pot holes everywhere…” he said during a panel discussion on Radio Gold.

According to Mr. Pratt Jnr, there is nothing wrong with the President’s tour around the country to unveil development projects his government has and is undertaking.

He remarked that government has the responsibility to show what it has done in order to convince Ghanaians that “the taxes we pay are being put to good use and that the loans it contracts on our behalf are not being wasted so I don’t see anything wrong with what is happening.”

The President has been accused of using state funds to campaign across the 10 regions of Ghana under the pretext of accounting to citizens about the achievements of his government.

Mr. Pratt Jnr however, believes that although every citizen, political party or institution has the right to criticize government, “criticism which does not suggest alternative ways of doing things is nothing but empty criticism with no value.”

“Nobody can argue that nothing is happening. What we need to do is to point to what needs to be done in addition to what is being done.”
