“You don’t tie my hands behind me and say I am a poor boxer,” he explained to veteran journalist David Ampofo  in a yet to be broadcast interview for the Time With David show.

Upon the establishment of the Office of the Special Prosecutor more than a year ago, Martin Amidu was appointed as the first Special Prosecutor by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

His appointment was hailed as a formidable step in the fight against corruption but after over a year in office, many in and out of Government have criticised him for inaction wondering why he is still yet to prosecute a single case

Recently the Communication Director of the governing New Patriotic Party(NPP) and MP for the Adentan Constituency, Yaw Buaben Asamoah, urged Martin Amidu to stop complaining about interference in his work and go ahead with prosecution.

Martin Amidu had complained about lack of cooperation by some heads of institutions, and interference in his work. But Yaw Buaben Asamoah hit back, denying any such interference or noncooperation.

However, Martin Amidu has maintained that his work is being inhibited, adding that leadership is not taking the needed action in the fight.

“You can’t fight corruption, without the leadership cracking the whip,” he noted

According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities.
