The Managing Editor of The Insight Newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr, has criticised the decision to hold the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving on Tuesday, July 1, arguing that it should have coincided with the official public holiday declared for Friday, July 4, 2025.
Speaking on Metro TV's "Good Morning Ghana" on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, Pratt expressed confusion over the timing, contending that holding the prayers on the designated holiday would have allowed for broader public participation. "I don't understand why the prayer and thanksgiving was not held on Friday.
The President wisely shifted the holiday to Friday so that citizens can have enough time to plan meaningful activities.
What was the point of shifting it to Friday if it could have been done on the same day?" he queried.
