<\/aside>\nThe Special Prosecutor nominee, Martin Amidu has revealed that late President J.E.A Mills come under heavy pressure to sack him following a misunderstanding that ensued between them.<\/p>\n

Mr. Amidu, who was the Attorney General and Minister for Justice under the erstwhile Atta Mills administration was dismissed after he reportedly fell out with the late President.<\/p>\n
Beleaguered businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome is on record to have said Mr. Amidu was sacked after he attempted to beat the late president following a misunderstanding.<\/p>\n
However speaking during his vetting at Parliament House Tuesday, Mr. Amidu stated that he offered to tender in his resignation letter after the quarrel and wasn\u2019t sacked as it has been widely reported in the media.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cMr. Chairman, I can assure you that I was not dismissed for insubordination\u2026there is a court judgement that stated that my dismissal was unlawful. So if anybody gives the impression that I was dismissed for insubordination, he should go to the court and read the judgment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cProfessor Mills was a very close friend and I was a close confidant and adviser and I\u2019m saying that His Excellency Sir Bebako Mensah his secretary will tell you there\u2019s no week he doesn\u2019t send for me specifically until the thirteenth. I don\u2019t know who asked him to call me and my brother\u2019s wife and put those questions to me, that\u2019s when I thought there was breach of trust so I told him I won\u2019t serve you again. I said it that you asked me to come as a friend, if you don\u2019t trust me as a friend I will not serve you again.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201c\u2026On the nineteenth, they announced that they had terminated my appointment then somebody goes and says my appointment was terminated for misconduct, so I went to court. That\u2019s the situation, Bebako Mensah is alive, he was Ambassador to the Vatican, he was there, Matey Newmann was there, Bettey Mould Iddrisu was there, I was there. Bettey Mould\u2019s husband and I continued talking, I have the emails here, don\u2019t let us go there. That is why I wrote a tribute when Prof. died, it pained me that he died, Naadu (late President Mills wife) will tell you that we were very close even after the event.\u00a0Prof. told people what he thought about being pressured to let me go.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n
