Our Father Was Our 'Superhero' – Amissah-Arthur's Children

Former Vice-President Kwesi Bekoe Amissah-Arthur’s children, Kwesi Nyan Amissah-Arthur and Araba Amissah-Arthur, have described their late father as the “superhero” they will miss forever.

In their tribute to the late vice-president at the pre-burial service at the Accra International Conference Centre, Kwesi Nyan said: “We’ve lost our hero and we are sad … He is and always shall be our hero … We know the principles he stood for and how he raised us… I had my own personal superhero … our hero wasn’t necessarily exclusive to us… we have heard several stories about his incorruptible nature …”
