Amissah-Arthur's security detail changed
Vice Presidential nominee, Kwesi Amissah-Arthur is
optimistic he will sail through his parliamentary
vetting Monday.

Mr Amissah-Arthur is set to be quizzed publicly by
members of Parliament’s Appointments Committee.

But even before he assumes the position of vice
president, the aura around the outgoing Governor
of the Bank of Ghana has changed considerably as
Joynews’ George Wiafe found out when he caught up
with him at the Calvary Methodist Church at
Adabraka where he worshipped Sunday.

According to George, the security detail of the
in-coming vice president has changed. As BoG
Governor, he had one police man as bodyguard but
that is not the case now a few days after his
nomination as vice president.

“I noticed two body guards were sitting directly
behind him in church while others stood outside
the church,” George Wiafe said.

He added that most members of Mr Amissah-Arthur’s
congregation were eager to exchange pleasantries
with him even though he has worshipped with them
for years.

Officials of the church, according to the
reporter, observed that it was hounorable to have
one of them nominated to the high office of vice
president.

Superintendent minister, the Very Rev Dr. Kwesi
Arthur-Mensah, could also not hide his joy when he
called for special prayers for vice-president
nominee, Wiafe noted.

He said the former BoG Governor was optimistic he
could convince Parliament’s appointment committee
because he is the right man for the job.
