Kwesi Pratt Jnr, a Veteran journalist and Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, has fumed at the Minority in Parliament following their press conference demanding the removal of Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
Speaking on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana on January 21, 2026, Kwesi Pratt accused the minority in parliament of ignoring global diplomatic realities and Ghana’s historic role.
According to Kwasi Pratt, he is so disgusted by the minority’s press conference, noting that the Minority’s actions are misguided and damaging to Ghana’s long-standing foreign principles.
Speaking on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana on January 21, 2026, Kwesi Pratt stated, “The Prime Minister of Britain emphasised the point that what Donald Trump had done was in violation of international law. Russia issued a strong statement claiming that what Donald Trump had done was in violation of international law. China issued a similar statement.
“Did you read the statement which was issued and signed by the Foreign Minister of Namibia? So, this minority, where have they been all these years? They don’t even read statements. They don’t read statements from the AU. They don’t read statements…”
“They are not watching what Russia’s position is. They are not watching what China’s position is. Unbelievable.”
He added, “What are the principles that the minority is upholding in this matter? I’m so disgusted by this press conference. Why? What has the foreign ministry done today? Which is in violation of Ghana’s foreign policy. Of course, if you look at the history of the minority, you may forgive them.”
Meanwhile, the Majority in Parliament has dismissed calls by the Minority to sack Foreign Affairs Minister Sam Okudzeto Ablakwa.
Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman, Alfred Okoe Vanderpuije, said concerns over halted immigrant visa processing and other diplomatic issues do not justify the Minister’s removal.
Alfred Okoe Vanderpuije described the minority demands as unfair, misplace and unmeritorious.
According to Alfred Okoe Vanderpuije, calls to sack Minister Okudzeto Ablakwa are a disservice to Ghana.
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, Alfred Okoe Vanderpuije quizzed the Minority for holding the minister responsible for decisions taken by US President Donald Trump.
Okoe Vanderpuije stated, “How do we hold our foreign affairs minister responsible for a decision taken by the President of the United States? This is a foreign affairs minister who has been very active on the international front”.
He further added that Okudzeto Ablakwa has played a vital role in strengthening Ghana’s diplomatic engagement and created jobs and opportunities for Ghanaian youths outside Ghana.
“All Ghanaians have seen what he is doing, creating job opportunities for our youth in foreign spaces and addressing visa-related issues in this country,” he added.
