…As He Drops Suspects List
The office of the Special Prosecutor,
has released about 26 cases being considered for prosecutions. The list includes opposition figures as high profile
as former President John Mahama and government appointees under the Akufo-Addo
administration such as Board Chair of the Ghana National Petroleum Company and
national chairman of the governing NPP Freddie Blay.
The Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu, has so far filed one case in court among
the 25 cases which have piqued his interest.
The office, which is the President’s promised solution to political graft, was
created by law in 2018.
Martin Amidu is a former Attorney-General who resigned from the John Atta
Mills’ administration and made a name for himself in chasing after ill-gotten
funds while a lackadaisical state pussyfoots.
He was sworn in as the first Special Prosecutor on March 1, 2018, with a
secured tenure which is believed, will protect the appointee from political
interference which is said to have undermined the fight against corruption.
