Today, March 23, 2018, is exactly a month since Martin Amidu was sworn in by President Nana Akufo-Addo as Ghana\u2019s first Special Prosecutor.<\/p>\n
It is difficult to identify which one drew the most excitement from Ghanaians; first, the announcement by President Akufo-Addo and then, his arguably sterling performance at the seven-hour-long vetting by Members of Parliament\u2019s Appointments Committee.<\/p>\n
He is from the opposition National Democratic Congress’ fold, yet, he agreed to serve in the opponent\u2019s camp.<\/p>\n
As expected, there was anger and a feeling of betrayal from that camp. That notwithstanding, the Minority Chief Whip Muntaka Mubarak, among other NDC MPs, said Martin Amidu was the best among all those he has met.<\/p>\n
