Auditor General Daniel Yao Domelovo and Former Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu
Martin Amidu as Ghana’s first Special Prosecutor has given rise to discussions about the Auditor General Daniel Yao Domelovo, who through a presidential directive was asked to proceed on his accumulated leave.According to several social media users, the Akufo-Addo-led government has carved an unconvincing reputation for itself with regards to the fight against corruption in public offices.
The focus of discussions on Twitter sought to unravel the direction of Ghana’s corruption fight in the future.
To some users, Martin Amidu’s resignation vindicates Daniel Domelovo who after some weeks into his leave began complaining about some issues in his office.
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo were untouchable.Martin Amidu in his resignation letter cited the numerous interferences by the presidency in his work as the Special Prosecutor.
The Special Prosecutor was appointed by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo in 2018. His office has since been the subject of public scrutiny.
In the same year he was appointed, Martin Amidu complained about how some key members of the Akufo-Addo government had refused to produce some documents to fast his investigations.
Below are some reactions from Twitter;
It begun with Domelevo when he stepped on Osafo Marfo’s toes.. he was asked to proceed on accumulated leave( the first in Ghana’s history BTW) then the Special Prosecutor himself Martin Amidu has resigned due to threats from various sources in govt.This govt is camouflaging..haha

The resignation of the SP gives me an inkling that the Auditor-General Mr Daniel Yao Domelevo might also resign.. ????

*Domelevo touches Osafo Maafo, and he’s out.* *Amidu touches Agyapa, and he’s out. Touch not his anointed*
*THIEVES IN POWER*

Fighting CORRUPTION isn’t easy. Mr Daniel Yaw Domelevo was asked to proceed on fighting it. And now, Mr Martin Amidu has to resign for fighting it as well. Interestingly, we got an incorruptible President in the midst of all this

You can’t fight corruption under Akufo-Addo, corruption will end up fighting you. Amidu spoke against Agyapa deal,now he’s gone… Domelevo spoke against Osafo Marfo N he left long ago.We can only take our money back by voting Akufo-Addo out.We need to protect the taxpayers money

Domelevo touches Osafo Marfo and he’s gone. Martin Amidu touches Ken in Agyapa deal and he’s gone. Touch not his anointed and do his minister no harm

When the Auditor General, Daniel Domelevo tried fighting the Snr Minister Osafo Marfo, he was pushed to go on leave. ????
Now when Oga Martin Amidu, the Special Prosecutor also tried fighting Ken Ofori Atta, he has been pushed to resign. ????
If you are a man, dare them and see.

Then you think of Domelevo and some law experts saying the order demanding he took mandatory leave close to election was not irregular. Lmao. We’ve heard you.
You really think it didn’t look slightly suspicious ? Yoo we’ve heard.

It’s a criminal gang. The way things are you can’t win against them: domelevo, amidu etc. it’s even their court . Any person with average intelligence will know that it’s a national heist now but who or what will save us?
