Member of Parliament for Adenta has rebuked former Attorney General and Minister of Justice Martin Amidu for his continued pursuit of judgement debt scandal at a time the nation is grieving.
Kojo Adu Asare said the former AG is fast making himself unpopular especially by pursing the Isofoton case when everybody is mourning the loss of ex-president John Mills.
He made these comments on Joy FM and MultiTV news analysis programme Newsfile on Saturday.
Martin Amidu has filed a suit at the Supreme Court seeking nine declarations on what he suspects are unlawful judgement debt claims being made by Spanish company Isofoton.
He posits Isofoton has no legitimate contract with the state to make that claim and expressed regrets the government has already paid part of the 1.3 million dollars the company is demanding.
He is praying the Supreme Court to make a declaration on the legality of the claims being made by Isofoton.
But Adu Asare has questioned the timing of Martin Amidu’s inquest.
Whilst he concedes some of the issues Amidu is raising are legitimate, he said the mood of the country should inform the former AG that the judgement debt saga must take a back burner.
“It is not as if someone wants to put these matters under any wraps or carpet or whatsoever but for now we want to concentrate on giving our late president a befitting burial.
"If he is not sensitive to such an issue, I think a lot of Ghanaians are,” he stated.
“…I think he is gotten it all wrong. He doesn’t seem to fit into whatever is going on. He is behaving like a foreigner and I am not sure even foreigners would want to behave this way when they know the leader of the country live in is about to be buried.
“I think he is lost,” he added.
