A Deputy Minister of Justice, Joseph Dindiok Kpemka, has revealed that the Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu is investigating some President Akuffo-Addo appointed officials and soon the outcome of findings will be published.
The Deputy Attorney General, who is also Member of Parliament for Tempane Constituency, was speaking on TV3‘s The Key Points on Saturday, August 15 disclosed that Martin Amidu is working hard behind the scenes and Ghanaians will soon judge whether his office was for the good in the fight against graft or not.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese Constituency, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, accused the Office of being surplus to institutions in the fight against corruption stating that that the Special Prosecutor has been “abysmal” in the past four years.
But in a rebuttal, Mr Kpemka said Mr Amidu is carrying out many investigations and soon he will come out with his findings and prosecutorial ones will be, accordingly, followed at the law courts.
“I know that that office is doing a lot and when they start going to court with the various matters, people will know the vindication of the President’s decision to establish this Office,” he said.
“There are quite a number of cases and it is not only cases against officials of the previous regime. That is what I want to emphasise.
“There are members of the current government who are being investigated by the Office of the Special Prosecutor and if he comes with the conclusion that they are indeed culpable in one way or the other by his assessment, they will be put before court and I think that will vindicate the position the President took on this matter.”
