Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong has said he warned the Akufo-Addo led government against the appointment of Martin Amidu as the Special Prosecutor but the party did not listen to him.

Kennedy Agyapong said, Mr Amidu was the wrong choice for that position, and that, his resignation will have no significant effect on NPP's electoral fortunes.

“Nobody should be scared or worried about Martin Amidu’s resignation if he has resigned so be it, he didn’t do any better work when in office.

“No wonder Mahama recently described him the way he did,” Mr Agyapong said on Net 2 in reaction to the news of the resignation of Mr Amidu as Special Prosecutor on Monday, November 16.

He added “Amidu’s statement won’t affect NPP in any way in the elections. But let me say one thing. I told NPP that in the long round he will turn against them and that is what has happened.”

He cited a number of reasons for his resignation.

Among other things, he cited interference by the government in his work although he is supposed to be independent and also the death of former President Jerry John Rawlings who to him, was a source of protection from the threats on his life after conducting a corruption risk assessment on the controversial Agyapa Mineral Royalties deal.
