Managing Editor of The New Crusading Guide, Kweku Baako Jnr, says that Martin Amidu should have stayed on as Special Prosecutor and see through his investigations on the Agyapa Royalties deal.
Mr Baako on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo program submitted that after discovering the possibility of corruption in the deal, Mr Amidu should have resisted the urge to resign and probe the matter. According to him. Mr Amidu missed a golden opportunity to erase the impression that he has been a failure in his office. He expressed his disappointment as Mr Amidu’s decision has left the work on the Agyapa deal hanging.
“To be honest I’m not happy. I’m disappointed with what has happened. But somewhere in his resignation letter, he said that he spotted certain things that he could have triggered investigations that will lead to criminal prosecution but because of interference he has decided to quit. That is where my disappointment is”.
“This was the time for him to stick to the office and use the powers that the act has given him. If he was indeed opposed to the so-called interference, that is the time he should have stuck to the office. If I were him, I would have stayed because you can’t sack me. He can only be sacked through the same process as an Appeal’s Court judge. You have the mandate to execute and you say you have seen suspected corruption or corruption, that is the time I will stick to the office”, he said.
