Martin Amidu, the Special Prosecutor has stated that he has not made any allegations that Parliament is sabotaging or obstructing his work, mentioned of any former minister’s name and Member of Parliament (MP).
He has challenged the Acting Director of Public Affairs of the Parliamentary Service, Kate Addo, to provide evidence of him indicating that Parliament was sabotaging and obstructing his work concerning the prosecution of a former minister of state and Member of Parliament for Bawku Central, Mahama Ayariga.
Mr Amidu insisted that “in my latest 45-minute interview with celebrated journalist and broadcaster, David Ampofo, on ‘Time With David’, I did not make any allegations stating that Parliament is sabotaging or obstructing my work or did I mention the name of any former minister and Member of Parliament as the Acting Director of the Parliamentary Service falsely attributed to me.
“On June 6, 2019, the Office of the Special Prosecutor issued a press release in response to a concoction by the Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu indicating that the Office of the Special Prosecutor has a tall list of Members of Parliament to prosecute as a reason why the leadership of parliament invited and met the Special Prosecutor with his Deputy on June 3, 2019 which is on the website of the Office of the Special Prosecutor for all who care to read.
“The Acting Director of Public Affairs of Parliament who signed the press release allegedly on behalf of the Parliamentary Service did not attend the meeting between the leadership of Parliament on the one hand and the Deputy Special Prosecutor and the Special Prosecutor on the other hand.
“She has no personal knowledge of what took place at the meeting she writes about in the press release, however, Kate Addo’s statements contained in her press release are pure and simply hearsay statements upon which no reasonable person will place any credibility on,” Mr Amidu fumed.
