Kwasi Pratt questions President's helicopter tour of flood-hit areas
Kwasi Pratt Jnr. questioned the President's decision to conduct an aerial assessment of flood-affected communities, arguing that the approach lacks scientific value and does not fully reflect the needs of affected residents. He stated, "There are a few things that are not really substantial, but the cosmetic value is also very important." Mr. Pratt believes an on-the-ground visit would have been more impactful, allowing direct interaction with affected residents.
