POLITICS: Amisah Arthur sworn-in as Vice President of Ghana

Mr. Amissah Arthur

His Excellency Kwesi Amissah Arthur has been sworn in as the Vice President of Ghana.

This follows his unanimous approval by Parliament on Monday evening.
The day has been a long one for the former Governor of the Bank of Ghana as he was vetted in an exercise that spanned nearly three hours earlier Monday and later sworn-in   in the evening by the Chief Justice, Georgina Woode.

His Excellency in making a brief statement after his swearing in thanked the President John Dramani Mahama for the honour done him by nominating him to that high office.

He also thanked Parliament for the unanimity with which they have worked to ensure the transfer of power.

He again thanked the clergy for the encouraging words and hoped they would continue to support him in his work.
