Hon. Doe Adjaho, I remember as Deputy Speaker said that unless they got my concurrence he\u2019ll not sit on it, so it had to be brought to me for review, and i reviewed it before it came to parliament for it to be passed. That is my track record. This country is not a milking cow.  It\u2019s for the people of this country particularly the down trodden; the poor ones. And I \u2018m saying that is my position it\u2019ll be, whether I\u2019m approved or not I\u2019ll continue to fight for the people of this country, the first ever Special Prosecutor nominee told the Appointment\u2019s Committee of parliament when he appeared before the committee for his vetting on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Amidu stressed that he accepted President Akufo Addo\u2019s appointment because he wants to stop the leakages and corruption that has plagued the country since constitutional rule.<\/p>\n<p>He observed that Ghana must be stabilized by protecting the national purse and ensuring that the citizens benefit immensely from the nation\u2019s natural resources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s important that this country is stabilized to make sure that no one gets the excuse to stage a coup. This can be done when we protect the national purse,\u201d Mr. Amidu said.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 48 updated by: 3 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Tuesday, 13 February 2018 Source: kasapafmonline.com 2018-02-13 Special Prosecutor Nominee, Martin Amidu The Special Prosecutor nominee Martin A.B.K Amidu says he will still be committed in his resolve to fight corruption should he be rejected by Parliament\u2019s Appointments committee as the Special Prrosecutor.
