Former special counsel Martin Amidu has threatened to respond publicly to the attacks he allegedly received as a result of his resignation.
Contrary to his previous position of not wanting to give press interviews about his resignation, Amidu says that if the attacks on his life persist he will be forced to speak up to defend his integrity.
“I am being pushed by the alleged responses to me that contain a blatant falsehood to speak of. But I don’t want anyone to blame me when I talk and it gets nasty. “
“Either the attacks stop or I will defend my integrity. It is something that I have gained through the hard work of the PNDC to date and I will not allow anyone, not even the president, to put that integrity in the mud. “
Martin Amidu, on Monday, November 16, resigned from his post three years after being appointed by President Akufo-Addo, expressing unsustainable conditions.
Martin Amidu, among other complaints, accused the government of not guaranteeing the independence and freedom of his position in the fulfillment of his constitutional mandate.
The former Attorney General, who prides himself on his hard-earned reputation, described himself as “a poor man who has tried to follow a straight and narrow path and has fought corruption without asking for payment.”
Mr. Amidu in an interview with Citi News argued that the fight against corruption is “mere rhetoric” and added that the threats he has received as a result of his resignation are an excellent example of fighting corruption.
However, the ‘Citizen Vigilante’ says that if pressured, he will respond to these attacks by making it public “without fear or favor, even to the extent that if my life will be given for telling the truth and defending the constitution of Ghana as established law I will. “
He believes that, as a private citizen, he can no longer be “controlled” and has the right to “defend the constitution of Ghana as established by law”.
“Corruption and corruption-related crimes are prohibited by the Constitution and the Anti-Corruption Assessment and something allowed by the Constitution and should not be subsumed in personal attacks. It must stop.
“Let’s stop him before we wash our dirty sheets in public,” he concluded.
