“Over the last few weeks, I have been amazed at the number of people who have come to show appreciation and I ask myself: ‘Is this Ghana?’ Are all these people in Ghana because of the maligning, the lies, the treachery, the wickedness, the mischievousness?

“I ask myself: Is this Ghana? I ask myself is this, my own husband, that you have come to say tribute to? And today, I ask the same question: Did people really know my husband? Did they take time to know him? The false accusations, the lies the maligning, did they know him? My dearest, me, your children, we know you.”

But Ken Agyapong commenting on the outburst on Adom TV’s Morning Show  Badwam Tuesday said Kwesi Amissah-Arthur was disregarded by a section of Ghanaians, especially members of his own party despite his decade’s worth of service to the party.

To him, Matilda Amissah-Arthur was being genuine in her tribute because Mr Amissah-Arthur was disrespected by the NDC, a situation he describes as very worrying.

“When I first heard about the woman’s outburst, I clapped for her. What she said was genuine because even his people in the NDC took him for granted for so long even though I know sections of Ghanaians were not happy,” Mr Agyapong noted.

FARE THEE WELL, PAA KWESI AMISSAH ARTHUR

Paa Kwesi Amissah Arthur worked with both the governments of the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during my tenure.

As an economist and academic I knew Paa Kwesi as a true professional who exercised his duties with dignity and a good sense of humility.

Typical of many professionals cast in his mould, he let his work speak for itself. He was not one who preferred to stay in the public eye but his association with politics did not allow that.

Nevertheless, Paa Kwesi’s calm disposition hid a confident interior that I believe earned him his role in our governments and allowed him to rise in other roles outside government.

During a trying period in the PNDC days, our former Deputy Minister of Finance bailed us out of a difficult troop situation in his capacity as Acting Minister. That was when I recognized that he was no personality to be regarded lightly.

As a partner in the trenches of the PNDC and early NDC days, we had our challenges too and he took them in his stride even if there were some discomforting encounters.

His candour could be disarming sometimes and he had a good grasp of the history of the PNDC and NDC days. I remember that once not too long ago he countered a misrepresentation during a tribute session for Louis Casely Hayford in church, correcting some historical facts concerning the PNDC to my pleasant surprise and that of many who were gathered at the service.

Despite the complex challenges he encountered as Vice-President, he nevertheless was a man whose demeanour won him deserving respect and admiration.

Paa Kwesi may have been an unsung hero, but he paid his full dues to Ghana with love and commitment. His demise during a gym workout came as a shock but the ways of the Good Lord are not for us to question.

Fare thee well Paa Kwesi. You were a true son of Ghana.

John Boadu said he admired the former Vice President for his level and the patience with which he went about his duties.

“[I will remember him for] his level of tolerance and patience, being able to hold on to himself without being pushed by the party and people who believe you must answer to everything and respond in like manner,” Mr Boadu said.

The NPP functionary stated that those traits the late Vice President possessed, were worth emulating by all citizenry.

“It’s important that all of us learn that,” he told Joy News’ Kwesi Parker Wilson Thursday.

Mr Boadu however took a jab at the political party of the late Veep, the National Democratic Congress (NDC); arguing that the party didn’t deserve him.

“…we believe he was in the wrong party,” he said. With that character, “it was a misnomer in their party but all said and done, It is a virtue we can hold on to,” he said.

Speaking to the media after filing past the corpse of the former Veep at the Accra International Conference Cantre, Mr Boadu said what the government would do to serve as a legacy in memory of Kwesi Amissah-Arthur depends on what the family wants.

“We expect them to come up with something that they want to do and government will do all that it can, to be able to [help]”.

Burial

The mortal remains of the late Veep will be laid to rest on Friday after a burial service which is expected to come off at the AICC.

WE HAVE NOT PRINTED ANY SPECIAL CLOTH FOR FUNERAL

The Amissah-Arthur family has noted with concern a specially designed funeral cloth with the image of former Vice President K. B. Amissah-Arthur on it.

We wish to point out that we are not behind the printing of this specially designed cloth. We are also not expecting the general public to mourn with us in that particular cloth nor in any other specially designed funeral cloth.

Indeed the funeral cloth printed with the photo of former Vice President Amissah-Arthur runs counter to the values that he stood for.
