An anti-corruption campaigner, Vitus Azeem has raised concern following what he describes as a takeover by the Attorney General on the prosecution case involving the monies allegedly stolen from the home of Cecilia Dapaah.
A notice from the Office of the Attorney General to the police says it has resolved to take over the prosecution case from DSP Emmanuel Nyamekye who was originally the prosecutor.
Meanwhile sharing his view on such development, Mr. Azeem said the AG’s conflicting role as an appointed Minister by taking over the case of his colleague former Minister.
He insists that could compromise the case.
“Some of us have always raised concern about the combination of the position of the Attorney General with that of the Minister of Justice because the occupant is usually a politician, answerable to the President of the day and having to deal with cases related to his or her colleague Minister as political party people.”
He added: “So when the Attorney General decides to take over a docket especially involving politically exposed persons, we are always concerned, in particular with regard to this case where you have identified differences between what the Police said and what the AG is now saying.
Is it as a result of further investigations? how did he arrive at those differences indicating that a certain amount belongs to the lady and another amount belongs to another person? Which other person is that? Has that person provided evidence that the money belongs to him or her? So, these are the concerns we will raise.”
