Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong has defended the outburst of the late Vice President Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur’s widow, Matilda Amissah-Arthur, at the funeral service of her husband.
Delivering a tribute at the final funeral service of the husband’s funeral in Accra, the former second lady expressed shock at the number of people who had shown her family love given vilifications suffered by her late husband.

“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.
Kennedy Agyapong you are being economical with the truth. I have seen you sitting on radio and tv describing NDC appointees as thieves and crooks. You have even said that their documents for the courts are ready in your hands. You have never singled Amissah Arthur out in your claims. The outburst is right and clear so perpetrators must swallow it squarely. Shouting on radio and tv every day does not make you a truth-speaking person. I believe you are one of the few people the outburst goes for.
