The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has dismissed claims that the government interfered in the Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu’s duties or investigations.

Mr Amidu on November 16, 2020 tendered in his resignation from office with immediate effect citing interference and absence of office space as some of his reasons.

In his letter addressed to President Nana Akufo-Addo, Martin Amidu said his resignation had been occasioned by President Akufo-Addo’s inability to ensure his independence and freedom of action.

Since 2018, he has been offered all the room and support he needed by law and mandate and every money he has requested to set up an entirely new institution, which comes with its own challenges, and to operate the Office independently and efficiently. No political office holder has interfered in the administration of that office,” the statement said.</p><p>“Indeed, his actions appear to impact both the incumbent and immediate past governments vindicate the wisdom of the mandate and powers of the office which he occupied. An office hinged on the independence of thought and action,” it added.</p><p>Mr. Buaben Asamoa said the NPP believes the President has been forthright and the model of compliance.</p><p>“The approach of the OSP by way of an advisory assessment is novel, and therefore the more significant that the President was very responsive. For the NPP led Government, the vindication of the President’s believe in the need for an independent office with sufficient power to act in the public realm, irrespective of status, implies major progress in fighting corruption,” he said.</p><div class='code-block code-block-5' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'> <a href=https://www.adhang.com/guest-posting-services/ ><img class=lazy src=
