Renowned Investigative Journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni has described the regime of President Akufo-Addo as one that is actively fighting against persons genuinely interested in the fight against corruption.
Mr Azure made this comment in response to a question about whether the resignation of Mr. Martin Amidu as Special Prosecutor and the move concerning the former Attorney General could affect the ruling government in the December 7 elections.
According to the award-winning journalist, the focus shouldn’t be on how Amidu’s resignation could affect the New Patriotic Party’s chances of winning the December, 7 elections but on how it has become difficult to fight corruption under this regime.
“But my worry goes beyond the elections; some foreign ambassadors said last year that those fighting against corruption in this country are being fought and that where the problem is.”
“Mahama was terrible in the fight against corruption but in his era, there was that freedom to fight. Now the Auditor General is gone because he dared to touch Osafo-Maafo, Martin Amidu is gone because he dared to touch Agyapa, and those of us who are journalists, if we could be truthful to ourselves, it’s hasn’t been easy these past four years.” He said.
