Amissah-Arthur's answers were bad-Amakye Boateng

A Political Science Lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kwasi Amakye-Boateng has said that he was least impressed, with the answers Vice President Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur gave before Parliament's Vetting Committee on Monday.

Mr. Amakye-Boateng mentioned that Mr. Amissah-Arthur's answers to questions bordering on corruption, the economy and that of the Woyome saga, were bad.

He questioned what the former Bank of Ghana Governor would bring on board the Mahama-led administration, which he said has just a little over four months to govern the country ahead of the December elections.

Speaking on on Adom TV's Badwam programme on Multi TV on Tuesday, Mr. Amakye-Boateng stated that the country needed an effective political leader as Vice President, stressing that Mr. Amissah-Arthur does not provide that quality.

He blamed political parties for not providing Ghanaians with effective leaders who have the capacity to build the country.

Mr. Amakye further pointed that it is impossible for the Mahama administration to make any meaningful impact in this short period.

His view was corroborated by General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, who called into the program to share his opinion on Mr. Amissah-Arthur's performance at the vetting.
