The legislator believes the National Democratic Congress (NDC) would have been better placed as political party if it had about 40 people with the same traits as late Amissah-Arthur.
“Amissah was indeed a fine gentleman and would be missed greatly. I’m not saying this because he is dead. Amissah Arthur and I were very good friends so I know what that man stood for. He was a fine gentleman,” he said.
