The Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu has condemned persons he says are attacking the Auditor General, Daniel Domelevo over his professional work.
The Auditor-General has been the subject of verbal attack since an audit report into the operation of the GETFund became public, with some persons mentioned in the report accusing the Auditor -General of being malicious and targeting them.
However Martin Amidu, who heads another anti-corruption institution, the Office of the Special Prosecutor said such attacks are an affront to the fight against corruption in the country. In an exclusive interview with Citi News’ Umaru Sanda Amadu, Martin Amidu said the citizenry especially politicians must learn to separate the institution in question from the person of its head since doing otherwise amounts to intimidation.
A former Administrator of GETFund, Sam Gariba, under whose supervision most of the infractions cited in the report happened, took a swipe at the Auditor General for the claims in the report, arguing that they were scandalous, ridiculous and unfounded.
He wondered why he will be surcharged for something he did with “due diligence”. Deputy Minister for Food and Agriculture, Kennedy Osei Nyarko in a Citi News interview threatened to sue the Auditor-General if he fails to retract his name from the list of beneficiaries of the GETFund scholarship.
Mr. Nyarko on the Point Blank segment of Eyewitness News, insisted that he never benefitted from a GETFund scholarship to study abroad.
