I keep receiving insults over my daughter’s appointment – Kwesi Pratt

The Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr., has shared his experience dealing with critics regarding the appointment of his daughter as the Press Secretary to the Vice President.
Speaking on Peace FM on March 25, 2025, Pratt disclosed that he has been subjected to constant verbal attacks and insults from individuals simply because his daughter, Ama Pratt, is a government appointee.
He expressed his inability to understand how people can be so vile and bitter in attacking him over the appointment of his daughter, whom he believes is highly deserving of the position.
“If you are in the public space, you should expect some of these things. The kind of insults I’ve been receiving because of the appointment the government has given to my daughter I cannot understand. It’s as if I am my daughter.
“My daughter is old enough, well-educated and married so I don’t understand. Yesterday she [daughter] was talking on a platform which was being streamed live on social media. Someone went to comment saying ‘God will punish Kwesi Pratt’. What is the sense in this? I have not attacked anyone,” he lamented.
The appointment of Ama Pratt was announced in a communique in January 2025. In her role as the press secretary, she is responsible for overseeing the communication strategies of the vice president’s office and the official spokesperson.
