He was called to the Bar, I was called to the Bar. He didn\u2019t appoint me Deputy Attorney General, I was appointed Deputy Attorney General before he came there and I served under Aikins, Nana Tandoh, Mr Forson came for six months before he was asked to act, and we are colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExcept that he was Attorney General and I was the deputy and therefore I knew my place and worked with him, that doesn\u2019t make him my boss. You\u2019re reading a self-serving book, in which he wanted to be the Vice Presidential candidate, he was by-passed, the Presidential candidate saw his deputy more competent and excellent than him.<\/p>\n<p>But speaking on this development in TV3\u2019s New Day on Saturday, Mr Bawa said this reaction is shocking.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cHis reaction to Okudzeto\u2019s question on Dr Obed Asamaoha\u2019s book on him was shocking. He had all the right to react to that comment. But the part that got us surprised was about Obed Asamoah not being is boss<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact that you had the appointment from the president doesn\u2019t not mean you don\u2019t have a boss at the ministry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/content.jwplatform.com\/players\/sEpSq20m-GtVgZhNx.html\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"auto\" allowfullscreen=\"\" style=\"position:absolute;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 39 updated by: 49 --><\/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 Saturday, 17 February 2018 Source: classfmonline.com 2018-02-17 Edward Bawa, Member of Parliament for Bongo Member of Parliament for Bongo, Edward Bawa, has said the reaction of Special Prosecutor nominee, Martin Amidu regarding a question on former Attorney General Dr Obed Asamoah, was surprising.
