Is Akwasi Pratt Not Saying Anything About It ?

40 BILLION CEDIS FOR NOTHING! PRATT IS NOT ONLY NOTORIOUS BUT A HYPOCRICY

An amount of GH¢4million (¢40bn) has been earmarked for the year-long activities of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's centenary celebrations, Prof. Akilakpa Sawyer, chairman of the committee overseeing the anniversary. Prof. Akilakpa Sawyer said, the committee is determined to work within its budget to realize its aims and objectives, and will not go beyond its budget. We are still under budget and intend to be under budget for the year.

Prof. Sawyer said the committee would keep records of all of its expenditure to make full auditing for its operations, adding that a situation that occurred during the Ghana @ 50 celebrations where there were missing records would be avoided.

“We have learnt lessons from Ghana @ 50 celebrations; therefore we will keep records of all our activities and make full disclosure of the committee's work after we have completed our programme,” he maintained.

The programme, which starts from May 22 to 25, 2010 under a joint African Union - Government of Ghana initiative, is on the theme, 'Contemporary Relevance of Kwame Nkrumah's Contribution to Pan-Africanism and Internationalism'.

What is really the secret behind this good for nothing project? The Government of Ghana is just opening a window to throw away GH¢4million (¢40billion), whiles the National Health Insurance is gradually getting out of operation and falling apart.

Is it a camouflage way of raising money for the 2012 campaign? How much is Akwasi Pratt getting out of the Elephant amount to be spend on the Kwame Nkrumah's centenary celebrations?
