The Member of Parliament for Adenta, Hon. Kojo Adu Asare has said it is regrettable but warming that Ghanaian had gotten to know of the true character of ex-President John Evan Atta Mills only after his death.
He said the harsh nature of Ghanaian politics ensured that all manner of persons attacked President Mills’s character in manner that was highly reprehensible.
Contributing to Asempa FM’s “Ekosii Sen” show, Hon. Adu Asare single out opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwart Kwame Pianim for publicly vouching for integrity of Professor Mills to the chagrin of most NPP members.
Mr. Pianim at a public event nearly 2 years ago extolled the virtues of Professor Mills for his incorruptible nature saying he could bip his fingers in fire to vouch for the integrity of Professor Mills when it comes to ending corrupt practices, a comment which drew strong condemnation from his own party members.
He said Kwame Pianim showed bravery for that public comment about his opponent, an act which was and indeed real in modern Ghanaian politics.
Touching on the issues of the public disclosure of what killed ex President Mills, the MP objected to that call by a section of the public saying in the Ghanaian custom, the family reserve that right to keep it secret.
“what will Ghanaians gain from knowing what killed ex President Mills, the man is gone and we must allow him rest in peace, disclosing what killed him will spark needless argument” he said .
