During an appearance on Peace FM's Kokrokoo morning show, Kwesi Pratt Junior, the Managing Editor of the Insight Newspaper, shared a startling revelation. He disclosed that he was once offered a 16-year-old girl by a family to be his second wife.
According to Kwesi Pratt, the family approached him to express their gratitude after his newspaper publication had helped them secure the necessary funds for a family member's surgery at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital. He received a phone call from the family head, who introduced himself and conveyed their appreciation. However, to Kwesi Pratt's surprise, the family's way of showing gratitude was to offer him a young girl from their family as his second wife.
The journalist expressed shock at the proposition, not knowing how to even broach the subject with his current wife. He informed the family head that he was already married and questioned whether he wasn't a man himself. Kwesi Pratt declined the offer, explaining that he couldn't accept it.
However, the family head became deeply offended by his refusal, putting significant pressure on Kwesi Pratt. The man expressed anger, claiming that he had disrespected the family by rejecting their offer. Kwesi Pratt admitted that the situation caused him great distress and made him sweat, as it was a challenging ordeal to navigate.
During the discussion on the show, one of the panellists suggested that Kwesi Pratt could have brought the girl home to assist his wife. However, he strongly opposed the idea, stating that he despised the concept of having a domestic servant and that it went against his principles.
The incident highlighted the uncomfortable situation Kwesi Pratt faced, dealing with the gratitude of the family while rejecting an offer that went against his values and beliefs.
