Ablakwa Rips Into Ghana Integrity Initiative

A Deputy Minister of Information, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has fired back at the Executive Director of the Ghana Integrity Initiative (GII), Vitus Azeem, describing a recent statement issued on the dismissal of former Attorney-General, Martin Amidu by the head of the GII as prejudicial, premature and most unfortunate. The Executive Director of the GII, the local chapter of Transparency International, a non-partisan, non-profit civil empowerment organization focused on fighting corruption issued a statement on Wednesday demanding answers to six questions from President Mills. In the said statement, the GII Executive Director posited that, �the President�s removal of the former Attorney-General, Mr. Martin Amidu, and the resignation of his predecessor, Mrs. Betty Mould Iddrisu, leaves a lot of nagging questions in the minds of Ghanaians. �The President has a duty to come out with what he knows about these developments and the �Woyome� case that led to all these developments.� 1. Was Mr. Amidu�s misconduct his refusal to withdraw his allegations which he believes strongly in? OR 2. Was his misconduct his determination to pursue the �Woyome� case? 3. Was he removed in an attempt to kill the �Woyome� case? 4. Was Mrs. Iddrisu�s resignation ordered by the President? 5. Does this point to anything about her role in the �Woyome� case? 6. What is the truth surrounding the �Woyome� case? were the six questions posed by the GII.
