Former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Mr. Martin Alamisi Amidu is calling on all patriotic citizens who believe in accountability, probity and transparency to speak out for the fair and impartial prosecutions of all crimes, particularly those involving graft and corruptions by associates of governing political parties.
He says it is time for all to insist on putting Ghana first and demand more than verbal governmental promises and commitments to fight graft and corruption.
Ultimately, Martin Amidu expects “We the People” to stop the “create, loot and share syndrome” that he says has reared its ugly head in Ghanaian politics in spite of the record of probity, accountability and transparency left behind by the Provisional National Defence Council and National Democratic Congress 1 and 2 governments.
The former Minister’s call is contained in an article he authored dated November 3, in which he expresses “apprehensions about the sincerity of the Government to fairly and impartially prosecute the bundle of criminal offences committed by the National Democratic Congress’ alleged businessman and bankroller Alfred Agbesi Woyome, his foreign collaborators, Ghanaian public servants, and political ministerial collaborators.”
Mr. Amidu says in the governments of the PNDC, NDC1 and 2, promises and commitments to fight graft and corruption as per the national democratic creed of politics were taken as articles of faith and abided by like Gospel truths. However, he says the same cannot be said for the government in the manner the Woyome case was electively commenced and is being prosecuted, the reason he says underlines why the government has entrenched impunity and brought the economy to its knees.
