I Don’t Regret Appointing Martin Amidu As Special Prosecutor – Akufo-Addo

Ghana’s President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has said he has no regret appointing Martin Amidu as the country’s first Special Prosecutor, despite their fallouts

President Akufo-Addo insists the office was adequately resourced to undertake its work, despite the latter’s claim of inadequate resources and interferences in his work by the President.

Speaking at the swearing-in of the new Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyabengat the Jubilee House on Thursday, August 5, 2021, President Akufo-Addo said Kissi Agyabeng will be given all the support he requires.

According to him, he had no reservations when the Attorney General and Minister for Justice nominated him to be the second person to occupy the office.

He said per Kissi Agyebeng’s qualifications, “it is clear that he is eminently qualified to occupy the office.”

“In spite of the unfortunate events that led to the departure of the first occupant of the office, I do not regret making that appointment. On my part as the president of the republic, I ensured that the office was adequately resourced to enable it to carry out its mandate.”

“I am however consoled by the often-cited statement that there is no need of crying over spilled milk. So when the Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame on April 16, 2021, nominated Mr. Kissi Agyebeng through Section 13, clause 3 of Article 959 for consideration as the second occupant of the office, I accepted the nomination because his qualifications are clear that he is eminently qualified to occupy the office. ”The new Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyabeng on his part, says he will do his best to help fight corruption.
