FORMER Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Martin Amidu, has accused President Mahama of using his executive authority and policing powers to intimidate him, with the intention of coercing him to abort the legal processes that could to Ghanaians becoming aware of how the GHC51 million fraudulently doled out Alfred Woyome was expended.
According to the former A-G, the conduct of President Mahama has convinced him, “as a senior and foundation member of the governing NDC”, that he is bent on doing everything in his power "to ensure that the examination orally on oath of the lootee for whom his Government looted the public purse, may not come on 24th November 2016."
He said since the Government which is enjoined by the country's constitution to respect and uphold the fundamental human rights and freedoms of all persons in Ghana has demonstrated that it cannot do so, it would be “constitutionally incompetent to be voted for at the 7th December 2016 Presidential elections.”
"Mark my words. The President can further subvert the cause of justice so that the people of Ghana do not hear the truth about the loot of the public purse he led until after the elections on 7th December 2016. We need patriotic public pressure and opinion to dissuade such intentions," Mr Amidu stated in a statement yesterday.
