The Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Mike Ocquaye has referred the appointment of the Special Prosecutor to the appointments committee of the house.
This move by the Speaker was after the President had officially written to him about the nomination of Martic Amidu as the country’s first Independent Prosecutor.
However, we cannot report when the Special Prosecutor nominee will appear before the committee but the President has asked that the process is expedited in order to grant the Special Prosecutor the opportunity to start his work.
“It is my respectful hope and expectation that the dispatch which characterized the approval of my Ministerial-nominees by Parliament last year will be extended to the consideration of Mr. Martin Amidu’s appointment,” a letter from the President to the House, read by the Speaker said.
Martin Amidu was nominated by the President of Ghana as the country’s first Special Prosecutor. His nomination has been hailed by experts as the best nomination in the fourth Republic.
