Veteran Ghanaian journalist, Kwasi Pratt Jnr has angrily blasted the US Embassy in Ghana after the Minister of Education, Matthew Opoku Prempeh was spotted queuing for a visa.

Describing the action as an unfair treatment against a public office holder, the managing editor of the Insight Newspaper said he was extremely angered by the sition.

Speaking on Peace FM's 'Kokroko', Mr. Pratt this was made known to him by a senior citizen via a text message.

"I have received a text message from one big elderly man in Ghana, informing me of he seeing the Minister of Education queuing for a visa at the US Embassy", he said.

A peeved Mr. Pratt, asked, "Imagine, would a USA minister queue for a Visa to come to Ghana".

"I am so angry, I can't help myself. I mean how, are that inferior to the extent that, our ministers cannot be accorded simple ordinary courtesies accorded to any minister anywhere in the world. What is this? ...... so angry, so angry", he told Kwame Sefa Kayi.

Mr Pratt further asked the Akufo-led government to take immediate action to stop such 'disrespect' from the US embassy.

"Why do we have to reduce ourselves to this level. This must not be allowed. Our government must put his foot down. The embassies must show respect to us (ministers). Why do they do that to us? ...Minister for Education, queuing for a Visa?. Why, what at all is he going to do in the US, that is very important for him to go and queue for a Visa?", he lamented.
