A former National Security Adviser, Brigadier General Nunoo Mensah, has commended the nomination of Martin Amidu as the country’s first Special Prosecutor, describing it as a “smart move”.<\/p>\n
He said he was confident that the former Attorney General will pursue justice given his credentials.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”FeSw4nxWW7v85z2Qtxdo0m6tiZNuVxUp”]President Akufo Addo on Thursday announced the nomination of anti-corruption crusader Martin Amidu as the country’s first Special Prosecutor pending parliamentary approval, to the surprise of many.<\/p>\n
The appointment comes barely a month after the President assented to the Bill which was passed by Parliament despite a vigorous debate.<\/p>\n
The appointment of Mr. Amidu, a known member of the opposition NDC who has been very critical of the then John Mahama administration for various corruption scandals, will indeed come as a shock to many, considering that he was never mentioned when names were been bandied around in the media.<\/p>\n
