The Alliance for Social Equity and Public Accountability (ASEPA) has called for investigations into the activities of Martin Amidu while he was Special Prosecutor.
According to ASEPA, Amidu’s sudden resignation from office is not normal and must be looked into. According to them, if reasons stated by Martin Amidu in his resignation letter are anything to go by, then it means the Special Prosecutor was enjoying some ‘illegal’ benefits in his position regardless of not receiving his emoluments.
“If I am working and I have not received the things to work with and my benefits for six (6) months, I’ll leave. But how come Martin Amidu was not given anything for about 32-33 months, stayed in office all this while and is suddenly resigning? Martin Amidu must not be allowed to leave like that,” Executive Director of ASEPA, Mensah Thompson was quoted by e.tv Ghana.
He added, “We need to investigate this. Why was he still in office regardless of the opposition and not receiving any benefits? This is suspicious. Maybe he got something else from the office we didn’t know about and that is why he stayed.”
