Kojo Fosu Slams Kwesi Pratt Over Controversial NHIS Legacy Claims On Live Radio

According to reports from Kojo Fosu, Official Facebook Post, 3 November, 2026, Social commentator Kojo Fosu voiced intense frustration over historical claims made by veteran journalist Kwesi Pratt Jnr during a live broadcast on Peace 104.3 FM.

Fosu took to Facebook to express his indignation after Pratt allegedly claimed that former President John Agyekum Kufuor was not responsible for establishing Ghana’s National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS). Fosu described the remarks as misleading and groundless, revealing that he immediately switched off his radio to avoid listening to further distortion of political history.

He launched a broad critique against double standards and selective revisionism in political media commentary. Fosu argued that prominent public analysts must maintain analytical consistency and stick to historical facts, regardless of which political party or leader they favor. He stressed that foundational principles and documented history should not be compromised to suit partisan agendas.

The dispute touches on a recurring debate within Ghanaian public discourse regarding legacy national policies. The NHIS was officially passed into law and implemented under the Kufuor administration in 2003, serving as a landmark achievement in social welfare. Fosu’s reaction underscores growing public impatience with media commentators who attempt to rewrite established history for political expediency.
