Former Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu has waded into the ongoing debate on corruption and governance, declaring his full support for President John Mahama's proposed anti-corruption initiatives-Operation Prevent All Loot (OPAL) and Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL).
Amidu asserted that Mahama's government cannot be faulted for ensuring that all employees of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP) under suspension were legally employed, emphasizing that due process was followed under the 1992 Constitution. "I will support the President's endeavour to prevent and recover all loots hundred percent with all my might and with all my soul when Operation Prevent All Loot (OPAL) and Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) are established pursuant to law," he stated, signaling his endorsement of Mahama's vision to clean up financial irregularities in state institutions.
Amidu, however, did not stop at backing the President's initiative.
He also called for an audit of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), describing it as "an economic crime scene" plagued by alleged constitutional breaches.
