There have been several reactions towards Vice President, Kwesi Amissah-Arthur on his recent comments about vertically challenged persons during one of the party's regional tours.
In what appeared like a sarcastic jab thrown at running mate of the opposition party, he is reported to have said short people need to be elevated in order to appreciate the achievements of his government.
The said comment, which doesn't seem to have gone down well with some Ghanaians and sympathizers of the NPP alike has caused a stir on several platforms.
Fast rising comedian, Emmanuel Nkansah Ansong popularly known in his circles as Lekzy DeComic has joined the bandwagon to express his utter dissatisfaction with the statement of the Vice President.
In the wake of the tension, he took to his social media to lament: "I know the ballot box won't be too tall for us to cast our votes too."
"Politics should deal with issues not attacking physical looks of people. It's an insult to me as a concerned short person.
#ShortPeopleHaveEyes
#ShortPeopleAreHuman
#ShortGuysDeserveRespect", he added.
The comedian, apparently has had to deal with the stigma associated with his being a short person too. This he reveals in his stage performances as he is always quick to address the stigma and unfair treatments meted out to people because of their physical challenges.

We know clearly that when amissah Arthur talked of short people he was saying that to someone negativelity which doesn't even show maturity in the so called veep. The man went too low to talk non*sense in the name of politics and the way he said was like short people aren't humans and that is why this guy is commenting but amissah Arthur has forgotten something.... Matilda buy ur husband a clear mirror to check his mouth and face in it. Cheap politics nkooaaa that NDC dey do
If someone is described as short, does it demean him/her? If you're short you're short, if you're tall you're tall so what's the point short people complaining about them being described as short. If you're short 're you always not helped to do things beyond your reach? I'm short and I'm not demean by any comment that describes me as short. If i want to place something higher i solicit for help and that is the fact. Stop these ***barred word*** things.
but his face fine pass your old bozo
My brother don't mind him okay. If only he knows how his face looks like, he would not have sarcastically talk about some body looks. I rest my case
