The wife of the former Vice President, Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur is thankful that despite the many criticisms her late husband faced while in public service, he has not been embroiled in any corruption controversy while alive or dead.
Speaking on PM Express on JoyNews, Matilda Amissah-Arthur said that her husband was a man dedicated to doing right the thing in all his years of service.
“My husband for 15 years was a Deputy Minister of finance, for six years was Governor of the Central Bank, for five years he was the Vice President, while he did all those jobs nobody impugned any corrupt thing to his name, even in his death, nobody.”
“Am I not lucky? Thank you, Lord. I hold my head up, I can go anywhere, I go to NPP, NDC and CPP functions, and I hold my head up because there is nothing,” she said.
Mrs Amissah-Arthur said that like her husband, she has worked diligently and as such can live comfortably.
“Nobody can impute any corrupt thing against me. If you give me work, I do it well, and that is all we are all supposed to do. We are all supposed to work well to uplift the country. Ghana is ours and nobody’s. If in our corners, we do our work well, and we are truthful, then we will go very far and stop this bickering,’ she added.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Amissah-Arthur opened up about missing her husband and moving on in life in his absence.
She opened up about her struggle to maintain an active lifestyle after the tragic incident at the Airforce Gym that led to her husband’s death.
Reflecting on her past routine, Matilda said, “We used to go to the gym. After my husband collapsed in the gym, after my husband died, going to that gym became a problem.”
To adapt to her new circumstances, she decided to utilise the gym at her residence. However, she confesses, “I’ve never used a gym in my house. I’ve never used it.”
