Former Attorney General, Martin Amidu, has said that he has a loving heart that pushes him to fight for vulnerable people and for a just cause, contrary to the fearful picture painted of him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have defended the voiceless I have not known; I have defended people who thought I was their enemies. I may not be having a smiling face, I may not be having a handsome face, but at least I have a heart that loves people, that is why I fight for the ordinary man,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”JqBuXqCWOndQas3O6HHH37pOg7XKOwia”]He also added that, people have said all sort of things about him, but he doesn\u2019t blame them because “those who really know him will vouch for him any day, and the only people who will be tempted to spoil his good name, are those corrupt political\u00a0leaders who cheat the nation.”<\/p>\n
Mr. Amidu, who was responding to a question from a member of the Appointments Committee, Ursula Owusu-Ekufful, listed a number of instances in his public life where he had offered a helping hand to people who hitherto feared to appear before him because of the misconceptions they had about him.<\/p>\n
According to him, he has remained\u00a0 supportive of people both in his hometown and at his residence in Accra, where people come to him for help.<\/p>\n
He said, as a modest man who wants to leave a legacy of having helped his country to be better, he had nothing significant to show for it, saying that he still lived a simple house.<\/p>\n
