Former Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu’s has filed a petition calling for the removal of his successor, Kissi Agyebeng.
His petition, dated April 30, 2024, was formally submitted to President Akufo-Addo and subsequently forwarded to Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo on May 6, 2024.
In his petition, Mr Amidu cited procurement irregularities in the acquisition of vehicles for the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and alleged misconduct involving judges and the administration of justice.
Martin Amidu's standard
Tamale North Member of Parliament (MP), Alhassan Suhuyini, speaking on JoyNews' Newsfile programme on Saturday, May 18, 2024 panned Martin Amidu for seeking the removal of Kissi Agyebeng.
According to him, "Mr Martin Amidu’s standards are not the ones by which we should judge Kissi Agyebeng’s performance because Mr Martin Amidu’s standards are low. And in his petition, he seems to be suggesting that his standard was the best standard and that was the way Kissi Agyebeng should have proceeded and that again in my view is typical Martin Amidu for you."
Meanwhile, the Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako, has criticized Martin Amidu’s recent petition describing it as “nonsensical.”
