 Late Vice president Amissah-Arthur's family denies funeral cloth

Ghana’s Vice president Kwesi Amissah-Arthur was on Friday unable to join the 2015 National Farmers Day celebration in Bolgatanga.

This was due to poor weather conditions which made it impossible for the Ghana Air Force to airlift the Vice President and his team to Bolgatanga for the ceremony as planned.

Amissah-Arthur was also expected to be the guest of honour for the annual event which is held to honour Ghanaian farmers for their tireless work in feeding the citizenry.
