Mr Daniel Yaw Domelevo and Martin Amidu<\/strong><\/p>\n

Auditor-General (A-G), Mr Daniel Yaw Domelevo has warned Ghanaians against chastising\u00a0Special Prosecutor, Mr Martin Amidu.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Mr Domelevo, giving up on the former attorney general will be suicidal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He urged government to properly resource the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) as the status quo is not helping Mr Martin Amidu to achieve the desired results.<\/p>\n

He indicated that Mr Amidu is doing his best, however, until the needed steps are taken, he cannot be effective as Special Prosecutor.<\/p>\n

In his opinion: \u201cThe set-up which is there [at the OSP] currently cannot help him [Mr Amidu] to deliver\u201d.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview on ClassFM, Mr Domelevo rallied support for Mr Amidu saying: \u201cIf we put any other person in his position, we will still get what we are getting, if not worse\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we will dismiss Martin Amidu at this point in time, then we shouldn\u2019t have even set it [OSP] in the first place,\u201d he maintained.<\/p>\n

He said Mr Amidu is focused on his job \u201cbut the speed at which he can work [and] the size of delivery which Ghanaians are expecting, is not what is coming because he is not taking off\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to Mr Domelevo\u2019s assessment, Mr Amidu is spending time on administrative issues which the authorities could have tasked others to do for him so that he could \u201cgo into operation or action\u201d. \u201cSo, now when he comes to the office, he is now looking at the structure that has been put up; where do we get people to fix this, who do we get to do that for us, instead of the main job\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mr Domelevo said even though GHS 180 million has been allocated to Mr Amidu, it is just on paper.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the public sector, when they say the budget has been approved for you, it is paper, it doesn\u2019t give you anything. Even when they say that they have given you a Warrant, it is still paper. When they say a Realise has been made to you, it is still paper. You don\u2019t have the money. It is only when they give you a bank transfer advice that the money has now been transferred into your account that you have money,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

For him, \u201cIt will be very suicidal on our part\u201d to give up on Mr Amidu, pointing out that in fighting crime, mismanagement and corruption, deterrence is very important.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen people know that you tolerate, they misbehave. If they think and know that this guy will not tolerate, they don\u2019t misbehave,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
