President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has acknowledged that the Office of Special Prosecutor will not have the panacea to the quest to ending corruption among public officials.
“But I do believe that at least the Office will remove the fear of partisan prosecution and begin to put the fear of God in all public officials who are intending to go down the path of corruption.”
President Akufo-Addo expressed this sentiment on Wednesday when he met some selected journalists at the Banquet Hall of the Flagstaff House.
He said he believes the assenting to the Office of Special Prosecutor Bill on Tuesday, January 2 was an indication of his determination to fight corruption.
Wednesday’s media encounter was to open up government to questions from the journalists after a year in office.
President Akufo-Addo reiterated that the nomination of Martin Amidu, an anti-graft crusader and a former Attorney General, as the first Special Prosecutor goes to prove his will to reduce corruption among appointees, both past and present.
