Former President, John Dramani Mahama has said, the first Special Prosecutor did not get the kind of cooperation he needed to be able to do the work.
According to Mr. Mahama, the first special prosecutor, Martin Amidu complained of so many things and as a result, could not continue to succeed.
However, the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2020 General Elections believes that, if the current Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng is allowed by the government to do his appointed job, he will definitely succeed.
“The first Special Prosecutor did not get the kind of cooperation he needed to be able to do the work that he had been given. We heard him complain about funding of the office, in terms of logistics and finance to recruit the kind of personnel that he needed to do the job,” ex-President Mahama said during his THANK YOU TOUR in Tamale on Thursday.
He further pointed “We also heard many complaints where the executive and the political establishment had attempted to interfere in his job. The beauty of the Special Prosecutor is the independence of the office and his ability to investigate corruption notwithstanding whose ox is gored. When you take that independence away, it robs the office of its usefulness. We hope that those things will be corrected under this new Special Prosecutor.”
Mr. Mahama is currently embarking on a THANK YOU TOUR across the regions of Ghana.
