President John Mahama’s adviser on corruption Daniel Batidam has described the incoming administration’s decision to appoint a special prosecutor to deal with corruption as an exercise in futility.
Nana Akufo Addo who is set to be officially sworn-in on Saturday has pledged to set up the office of the special prosecutor to fight the menace.
But Mr. Batidam told Starr News, no special office created to fight corruption will be effective if the attorney general’s position is not decoupled from the minister of justice.
“For me it’s not the way to go in setting up a special prosecutor, whoever does any kind of work under the present constitution that we have, it will end on the desk of the attorney general.
“Unless you amend the constitution to take the powers that are granted the attorney general, it will be an exercise in futility.”

MR. ADVISER ON CORRUPTION, WHY AFRAID OF THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR. IF THIS IS THE KIND OF ADVISE YOU GAVE JM THEN YOU WILL INDEED BE REQUIRED TO EXPLAIN SOME ASPECTS OF YOUR ADVISE. RELAX, PROBABLY THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR MAY NEED YOUR "CORRUPTION ADVISE" AS WELL.

What makes Mahama the most corrupt president? In your dreams !!! You have an opportunity to show us with evidence e in courts why Mahama is corrupt. Kuffour is the king pin of corruption in Ghana and they looted the national treasury , built hotels , looted Ga lands etc What has Mahama done. You are still in your campaign mode. you better sit up because the honey moon will not last long and you have 4 million anti NPP to contend with . They are everywhere - the army police customhgs schools hospitals etc Ghana does not belong to you although you have just won an election
I'm surprised; how can an anti corruption fighter team up with the most corrupt president in our history and couldn't any significant impact at all? But you're rather praising this enabler corrupt president as a hero. What was your advice when all those nepostist corrupt CR1M1NAL ***barred word*** sole sourcing inflated contracts were being awarded to Mahamah relatives, associates and his wife associates? Did you ever drew the attention of the president? Wait and see what will be coming out and tell us whether you helped the incompetent corrupt president to fight corruption or you were there as an opportunist reinforce to follow your stomach? Shame on you. If you're an anti corrupt fighter, then, Attah Ayi is a anti armed robber. I feel sorry for you period.
You were hired by JM to help him fight corrupt, you've did fine idea but it wasn't implemented. Did you make the suggestion to JM or not? You're the same person who told the whole world that JM did nothing wrong by accepting the Ford Expedition from the guy he help secured contract from Ghana government. At the same breath, you gave a contradictory answer to a hypothetical question posted to you by Mannassah Azzuri. When in actuality when you find out it was no other than JM then, you changed your position. You sold your conscious for your stomach. Your days as an anti corruption fighter are way behind you because nobody will ever take you serious again. You've compromised your credibility as an anti corruption fighter period. I hope you "stole" enough money to last you because you're finished.
Are you afriad?
Mr Batidam, it does not lie in your power as to whether to set up that office or not. So, hold your peace and wait for what is coming up.
First of all Peace fm, what kind of story heading is that? Batidam never said its needless to establish the office of the special prosecutor. The story explains further. Please oooo we are in the new year so stop confusing us with your misleading headlines. Now to the main issue....eeerrrmmmm Mr. Batidam what is your business with regards to the setting up of a special prosecutor's office? You were Mr Mahama's advisor on corruption, no? How come you are now realizing that the office of special prosecutor can only function when the attorney general and justice departnents are separated? Infact why did you not even advise the setting up of this office during your reigning days since you know how it could have been effective. Massa this your s..i.l..l.y preemptuous attitude will not save your a.s..s...es from being dragged to court to refund all our monies you stole. You had a lot of time to fight corruption and advise your ***barred word*** but noooo, you chose to keep quite and you are now crying foul that a system that has not yet been established wont work. You must be so s.t..oo..p.id to think that your views even matter now. Now listen Batidam, whether the special prosecutor will succeed or fail is none of your freaking business cus the days when Ghana needed your advise passed on the 7th December, 2016 and will be buried on the 7th January, 2017.
What is wrong with this NDC thugs? You were there eating Tax payers money Left to Right without properly accounting to the ordinary Ghanaian. You took FORD as a bribe and Awarded a contract to Mr. Can' and it was a Journalist who leaked the information to the people of Ghana and you think the Special Prosecutor is Needless. Wait and See. We will defend the Constitution and the purse of this country by all Means so if you're not fit to stand the TRAILS then you better die before it reach your turn to be called. Fire burn those who oppose such a Great Idea.Long Live Ghana and Long Live KEEA
