Former special counsel, Martin Amidu, accused President Akufo-Addo and Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta of being the masterminds of the Agyapa Royalty Agreement.
“I can now say, as a citizen of Ghana, based on the Agyapa Royalties Limited Transaction reports that the transaction was conceived in a suspicious manner by the Minister of Finance and the Presidency and was implemented to serve only a few people within the NPP, ”he said.
In a 27-page letter seen by JoyNews, the former Special Prosecutor revealed that “the anti-corruption rhetorical president who came to power on the wings of the fight against the corruption pandemic in Ghana, intentionally and knowingly accepted the project. of law August 27, 2020 “.
He added that the bill should have retroactive effect from August 14 of the same year.
According to him, this act of President Akufo-Addo clearly describes “an innocent-looking flower that also has a snake underneath.”
Reflecting in hindsight after he was released from the pressure of office, I now realize and agree with those compatriots who had fought alongside and have a better understanding of the president over the years than, the president’s directives to the Ministry of Finance they were just a repetition of their modus operandi of the innocent-looking flower that fights against corruption, but the snake under the innocent flower facilitates corruption, ”he added.
Amidu’s comments were part of a reply to the Presidency on Thursday, addressing what he calls “fabrications and falsehoods” in President Akufo-Addo’s acceptance letter to his resignation on Tuesday, November 17.
The Vigilante Citizen emphasized that during his investigation into the Agyapa agreement, he pointed out that the report seriously accuses the President.
It indicated that Akufo-Addo, however, intended to cover up the report by referring it to the same people assessed as the main suspects named in Agyapa’s Royalty Transaction report.
“This same president shamefully, ironically, realized that the anti-corruption assessment report in his foreign tax haven incorporated the transaction Agyapa Royalties Limited was infested with suspicious corruption activities, he turned around to take Ghanaians for fools of little memory referring to Agyapa Regalías anti-corruption infested transaction to its partisan Attorney General to review the work of the independent office of the Special Prosecutor so that its designees receive political protection by the Attorney General for the alleged commission of corruption and crimes related to corruption, ”He emphasized.
