In responding to a question posed to him on the appointment of Martin Amidu as Special Prosecutor, Akufo-Addo said it is a strategic move to \u201cput the fear of God\u201d in corrupt public officers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI do not expect that Martin Amidu will provide all the answers for dealing with the phenomenon of corruption by public officials, but I do believe that at the least, the office will remove the fear of partisan prosecution and put the fear of God in all public officials who are intending to go on the path of corruption,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
