Martin Amidu |
President Akufo-Addo today [Thursday], after an emergency cabinet meeting at the Flagstaff House, named a former Attorney General in the National Democratic Congress [NDC] administration, Martin Alamisi Benz-Kaiser Amidu as the Independent Special Prosecutor (ISP).
President Nana Akufo-Addo, announcing Mr. Amidu for the newly created office of the Independent Special Prosecutor, noted he will present the name to Parliament for approval.
The President also commended him for his continual combat against corruption as an anti-corruption crusader.
"I can vouch for his spiritedness", the President acclaimed the former Attorney General and Citizen Vigilante.
The appointment of Mr. Amidu, to many Ghanaians, strikes fear in current and former government appointees who may have the penchant for corruption.
ABOUT MATIN AMIDU
Martin A.B.K Amidu was the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice during the Mills/Mahama administration from January 2011 till January 2012.
He was the author of the word "gargantuan" in the lexicon of Ghana's politics which led to the infamous Woyome judgment debt scandal.
Mr. Amidu has since been an anti-corruption crusader, fully committing himself to the fight of corruption in the country.
