Former Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu has accused the government led by John Mahama of delaying action in the Asante Berko-AKSA bribery case. Mr. Amidu stated this in an opinion piece he released on August 9.
He also alleged that the Attorney-General's office was used for partisan prosecutions. The Office of the Special Prosecutor began its investigation into the matter in April 2020.
The case involves allegations of bribery related to the Asante Berko-AKSA deal. Details of the alleged bribery were being investigated by the Special Prosecutor's office.
Mr. Amidu's statement suggests a lack of timely response from the previous administration regarding the bribery allegations. He believes the legal process was hindered.
The former prosecutor's comments highlight concerns about the handling of corruption cases. He feels that political considerations may have influenced the pace of investigations.
The specific details of the AKSA bribery case are central to Mr. Amidu's accusations. He believes the government failed to act decisively.
This situation raises questions about accountability and the proper functioning of state institutions. The allegations point to potential interference in justice processes.
Further details on the investigation and the government's response are expected. The public awaits more information on the progress of the AKSA bribery case.
