Martin Amidu is looking for a fight with government – Political Risk Analyst
A political Risk Analyst, Dr. Theo Acheampong is suggesting that words used by the former Special Prosecutor (SP), Mr. Martin Amidu in the latter’s latest epistle draws links to the fact that he is after a fight with the government.
“…Using words like ‘lazy lawyers’, ‘government is now being run on autopilot’, ‘former anti-corruption Moses’; I think those words are quite unfortunate and I read it like Amidu is more or less spoiling or looking for a fight,” he explained on Joy FM’s Newsfile monitored by MyNewsGh.com
According to him, although Mr. Amidu had every right to defend himself, his choice of words was uncalled for and gives the impression that he was after a fight with the Presidency.
“Basically Amidu is claiming that the President has set more or less some attack dogs on him and so he needs to defend his integrity for following the professional work that he did on Agyapa”, Dr. Acheampong pointed out.
His comment follows a 27-page response by the former Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu to the Presidency following his resignation.
In the letter, the Citizen Vigilante as he has been described used some harsh words to describe the President, Akufo-Addo, and his Secretary, Nana Asante Bediatuo.
According to the Senior Fellow at IMANI Africa, more gains would have been made in the fight against corruption if the Citizen Vigilante had gone straight to the point and avoided name-calling.
“I’m a bit worried about some of the words that Amidu uses in the latest epistle and it doesn’t really do much good in terms of us looking at the core issues that he raises.
“He has a constitutional right to defend himself no doubt, but the words that were used are a bit unfortunate as far as I am concerned.”
