EARNING SALARY WITHOUT WORKING IS CORRUPTION-- CHRISTIAN COUNCIL TO SPECIAL PROSECUTOR


The Chairman of Ashanti regional branch of the Peace Council, Professor Seth Opuni Asiamah has slammed Special prosecutor Martin Amidu over his lamentation over lack of adequate government support for his work.


Mr Maidu has claimed ministers have refused to offer him the kind of support he requires to be able to deliver on his mandate.

“The present situation where critical ministries and agencies have failed even with our limited constraints or refused to produce public records on demand to aid the office in critical investigations, offences running into millions of cedis, clearly demonstrates that there is divergence between the president’s vision and that of some of his appointees.

“You ask for information you can’t get it, you ask for docket, the docket cannot be produced. You ask a minister for a record, the record cannot be produced. How do you fight corruption when those appointed by the president who has a vision are not coordinating with the office of the special prosecutor to achieve his mandate? That is the challenge we have to face,” the anti-corruption crusader bemoaned at a National Audit Forum organised by the Ghana Audit Service in Accra.

"I’m just lying in bed, looking at the ceiling and asking myself what’s the purpose of life? Is it not the peak of heartlessness to knock down a fellow being and speed off? To you, the driver of the WHITE saloon car, who hit Lt. Felix Sormenah at Aburi on Tuesday, September 4, 2018 and bolted; may you never find peace. One of your driver’s mirrors, which got yanked off due to the impact of your recklessness is with the police. Help Please, don’t be an accessory to murder if your friend, husband, brother or uncle came home that night without a driver’s mirror or confessed his deed to you. He hit a military officer, who was training officer cadets and never stopped to help. His action took the life out of a fine officer, who was to marry on October 6, 2018 (attached to the picture is the wedding invitation). Dear friends and followers, let’s share this narrative until the driver reports himself to the police. Rest In Peace, Felix. My children are equally heartb
