Former Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu has noted that both President Akufo-Addo and his secretary, Nana Bediatuo failed to read his sixty-four-page report before replying.
According to him, the President and his secretary would have appreciated the issues better than they did in their reply to him had they done the needful by reading the anti-corruption assessment report.
In a 27-page response to the Presidency, Martin Amidu stated in ‘point number 3’ that, “The President’s response creates the embarrassing impression that neither the President who directed and instructed you to write the letter under reference nor you as his Secretary have read the full sixty-four-page Agyapa report to be able to understand that it contains very serious suspected corruption and corruption-related offences for which I intended to open full investigations.”
He added: “If the President and you had found the time to read the full Agyapa Royalties Transaction anti-corruption assessment report you would not have relied on the conclusions and observations like lazy lawyers relying on facts and holding in a published law report in making false and frivolous character assassination attacks on my integrity for a cheap political point.”
