So when the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice reports raised administrative issues and other issues such as the timing and the announcement of the bond issuance, that\u2019s a concern for Ghanaians.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The former Vice President made these remarks when he granted an interview with the press in office on the journey so far and his assessment of the NPP\u00a0 on the state of the Nations Address and other matters concerning the country.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Mr Amissah Arthur said <em>\u201cissues about potential conflict of interest is a concern for Ghanaians , issues on the report about the assets declaration is a\u00a0 concern , then about family members who are directors in companies that have benefitted \u00a0from\u00a0 it is\u00a0 a concern. When issues are raised about the cost of the bond to Ghanaians in the future .it\u2019s a concern.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Former Vice said he thought that in all these accusations and investigations, Mr Ofori Atta would rather stand up save his name and say that he\u2019s the moral leader and don\u2019t think that he can justify his behaviour against this level.<\/p>\n<p>He questioned what lessons we are showing to the people of Ghana about the morality of leadership when the President comes and wipes all the findings away and pushes it under the carpet.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>HE. Amissah Arthur said he<em> \u201cexpected him to say that well, I was so concerned about the debt profile of Ghana that maybe we over extended ourselves to, so we were in such a hurry and didn\u2019t take or was not\u00a0 mindful of the specific scriptures about it and so on,\u00a0 then\u00a0 Ghanaians would say go and sin no more. But no, all that he and his NPP is looking for is technical and legal reasons why\u00a0 he\u2019s not guilty, but the issues is not about the technicality or the legality for him, it\u2019s about a certain leadership of morality for our country.
