Martin Amidu, on November 16, announced his resignation as Special Prosecutor citing political interference by President Akufo-Addo among others.

Institute for Democratic Governance (IDEG) cautioned the government not to accept the resignation as that would amount to the collapse of the Special prosecutor’s office.

But government responded to Mr. Amidu by accepting his resignation and also debunking the claims of presidential interference.

The NPP’s deputy General Secretary Nana Obiri Boahen noted the resignation of Mr Amidu was no big deal.

However, Honorary Vice President of IMANI Africa, Bright Simons thought otherwise. He believes in spite of all the budgetary allocations, government’s failure to migrate the Office unto the GIFMIS meant that it would have been difficult for the special prosecutor to access those funds.

The concern of the Ghana Integrity Initiative (GII) was an immediate replacement for Mr. Amidu because of the many key corruption-related investigations being handled by the office.

Former British High Commissioner Victor Smith believes the resignation of Mr. Amidu is enough reason or the president to resign.

Whiles all this was ongoing, Mr Amidu made available an interview he granted Citi News claiming his life was being threatened after he resigned.

The President immediately directed the Inspector-General of Police to provide security for the former Special Prosecutor.
