Martin Amidu, Special Prosecutor
The President of the Civil Society Platform on Oil and Gas, Dr. Steve Manteaw, has asked Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu to investigate and prosecute any evidence of an act of corruption in accordance with his mandate as prosecutor.
Dr. Manteaw, who is also a member of the Civil Society Alliance groups working in the extractive sector, also called for the total repeal of the agreement following the assessment of the risk of corruption carried out by the Special Prosecutor.
“In this regard, we challenge the OSP to take the next logical step to investigate and process any evidence of corrupt acts in accordance with its fiscal mandate.
“The repeal of the Agyapa transaction should lay the foundation for a more open and consultative process of options and solutions to obtain the best value for our mineral resources,” Manteaw said at a press conference in Accra on Wednesday, November 11.
