Amidu accuses Special Prosecutor of selective investigations

The former Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu is accusing his successor Kissi Agyebeng of picking and choosing persons “he wishes to investigate”.

According to Mr. Amidu, Mr. Agyebeng needs to explain why he would publish some cases in his half-yearly report and leave out serious cases of corruption and corruption-related offenses of procurement malpractices, abuse of public office for profit, and corruption investigations.

“The half-yearly reports published by the Special Prosecutor since his assumption of office on 9 August 2021 include the OSP Airbus SE Ghana investigations which I stood down in September 2020 in order for the OSP not to be seen as an instrument in the hands of the President in his bid during the 2020 presidential elections for political electioneering purposes to retain power over his main opponent,” Mr. Amidu claimed in his latest epistle.
