Government has assured former Attorney-Generaland Minister of Justice, Martin Amidu, it will guarantee his safety and security.
Information and Media Relations Minister, Mahama Ayariga said “it is inconceivable” government will endanger the life of any citizen, let alone Martin Amidu.
His comments come hours after Martin Amidu issued a statement in which he stated, among other things, that "the Government and those subgroups in the NDC who are against the results of the two Supreme Court judgments have persistently endangered my life and personal security since I commenced my action in the Supreme Court in June 2012."
Amidu fell out with the government under the late President John Mills and was sacked from office as Attorney-General.
He then, as an individual, took up the matter of judgement debts and sought reliefs from the Supreme Court against two companies- Waterville and Isofoton- which he claimed were wrongfully paid monies by the state.
The Supreme Court in part agreed with Amidu and ordered the companies to repay with interest, the monies paid to them.
Amidu, has since been hailed publicly by many for fighting to protect the public purse but privately the “Citizen Vigilante” as he calls himself says, his life is in danger.
“Finally I have to say that the Government and those subgroups in the NDC who are against the results of the two Supreme Court judgments have persistently endangered my life and personal security since I commenced my action in the Supreme Court in June 2012.
“Whatever happens, I, Martin Alamisi Amidu will not regret dying for defending the Constitution and people of Ghana,” he said in a statement.
Government has responded, with the Information Minister saying it is not in the interest of government or the NDC as a party to compromise Martin Amidu's safety and security.
Mahama Ayariga told the media at the Daily Press briefing on Friday that if Martin Amidu has concerns about his safety, the security agencies will take steps to protect him.
"It is inconceivable that government will endanger the life of anybody," he said.
