Minority Chief Whip, Muntaka MubarakThe Minority Chief Whip in a Citi News<\/strong> interview said frantic efforts are being made to have the confirmation done tomorrow [Friday].<\/p>\n

Martin Amidu on Tuesday, February 13, faced Parliament\u2019s Appointments Committee in what could probably be the longest ever\u00a0parliamentary vetting session<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0for a single individual in the 4th Republic.<\/p>\n

The Special Prosecutor nominee responded to over 180 questions from all members of the committee in the over 7-hour long session.<\/p>\n

The National Democratic Congres (NDC) Minority asked the most questions; 75% of all questions asked, with the caucus\u2019 leader, Haruna Iddrisu, being the individual who asked the most number of questions.<\/p>\n

Most of the questions focused on past statements and articles Martin Amidu had written.\u00a0 There is, however, a pending suit at the Supreme Court by NDC member and former Deputy Attorney General Dominic Ayine, challenging Amidu\u2019s nomination.<\/p>\n

He argues that Mr. Amidu, 66, has passed the age that requires him to serve in that office.<\/p>\n
