The Managing Editor for the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako says Ghanaians have overrated information contained in the Wikileaks cables. According to Kweku Baako the wikileaks cables should be interrogated before it can be considered as factually reliable, since one cannot make a judgement based on the information from the wikileaks cable. Abdul Malik Kweku Baako said this in an interview on Adom Fm’s Dwaso Nsem on Tuesday. Kweku Baako said “what I see is a very uneducated, ignorant attempt to do uncritical mass consumption of whatever is contained in the wikileaks and then the repugnant selective application of the leaks for partisan propaganda purposes. "So that distortion and uneducated approach has constituted a mess and for that matter we are messing ourselves up”. He said “the wikileaks cable should not be consumed as the gospel truth and it does not mean we should be selective in applying it for parochial propaganda purposes”, adding “we are doing a lot of injustice to ourselves as a nation”. On Kwesi Pratt’s denial of telling US Embassy officials that Nana Akufo-Addo used to smoke marijuana, Kweku Baako said he had called Kwesi Pratt a day before newspaper publications of the wikileaks during which Kwesi Pratt denied the claim. But speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem on Monday, 5th September 2011, Kwesi Pratt said he could not remember telling the Americans Nana Akufo-Addo smoked marijuana. Kweku Baako however, said Kwesi Pratt Jnr. has a high retentive memory which makes it difficult for him (Baako) to believe that Kwesi Pratt Jnr. could forget something he said three years ago. Dr. Emmanuel Akwetey, Executive Director for the Institute for Democratic Governance has blamed the mess created by the leaked cables on the inability of the Ghanaian especially leaders, to guard against comments and statements they make to diplomats. Dr. Akwetey noted with sadness the politicisation of the publications which he said had resulted from the polarisation of issues. “This senseless politics is affecting us, if we continue to leak out our secrets because of divisiveness, how will we manage the information?” he questioned.
