According to the OSP, a pending determination of a challenge of the eligibility of Martin Amidu over his age by Dr. Dominic Ayine at the Supreme Court is a reason two corruption cases being pursued have not been concluded.

The Former Deputy Attorney General in a case titled Ayine versus Attorney-General, is seeking declarations that the appointment of the Special Prosecutor and the Deputy Special Prosecutor are unconstitutional, null and void.

The office in its Statutory Half Yearly Publication explained that “This half yearly report for this half year repeats the July 31, 2019 publication because of the stay of proceedings in the case of the Republic v Hajia Hawa Ninchema & 6 Others (High Court, Accra, 31st July 2019 and the Republic v Ayariga,& Another (High Court, Accra, 23rd October 2019) ordered by the High Court (Financial Division 2), Accra, in the substantive trial of any criminal charges filed under the signature of the Special Prosecutor pending the determination by the Supreme Court of the case of Ayine v the Attorney-General which seeks declarations that the appointments of the Special Prosecutor under Section 13 and of the Deputy Special Prosecutor under section 16 respectively of Act 959 are unconstitutional, null and void”.

As a result, the report added that “There have been no acquittals, and convictions as the two cases listed above are pending as being prosecuted. Consequently no value of any assets have been recovered”.
