The Special Prosecutor nominee, Martin Amidu, stirred controversy at his vetting on Tuesday when he subtly indicated in a brief biography submitted to Parliament\u2019s Appointments Committee that he does not have children, but rather adults.<\/p>\n
In addressing a question about the number of children he had as indicated on his CV, Martin Amidu stated that he had adults, and accompanied it with their ages; 35, 41 and 43 years.<\/p>\n
In responding to a question by Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu about why he answered the question in that manner, Martin Amidu said, \u201cthe question was Children, honestly, I was going to say no child. I used adult because I have no\u00a0responsibility for these people as children so as far as I\u2019m concerned, they are not my children. If you go to the UK and tamper with anybody of these ages, you\u2019ll go to jail; but because of the ambiguity of the question, that’s why I put those names there.\u201d<\/p>\n
