Former deputy attorney general under the erstwhile Mahama administration Dr. Dominic Ayine has expressed fears the yet-to-be appointed special prosecutor will witch-hunt members of the former NDC government.
In his view, the intended anti-graft body will not have the needed independence to fight corruption as is being touted by the NPP government.
President Akufo-Addo during the 2016 electioneering promised to set up the office of the Special prosecutor as part of his strategies in fighting corruption, which appears endemic in Ghana.
Sources say respected lawyer Akoto Ampaw has been penciled for the job by the President.
Speaking on the floor of Parliament Wednesday, the Bolga East MP said members of the NDC will be the primary target of the Special prosecutor.
“The establishment of the office of the Special Prosecutor in common law jurisdiction has always been based upon one important consideration; that is conflict of interest.
In our situation where I am very certain and we on this side can predict with almost mathematical certainty, that the office of the special prosecutor will be aiming at prosecuting former ministers and appointees of the former government; wherein lies the conflict of interest? Mr. Speaker,” he wondered.

All stolen monies will be retrieved to improve the energy situation in Ghana and to help the free SHS. Do you think we shall allow you to enjoy the stolen money that will send NPP to opposition again.
ARE THERE WITCHES IN NDC? LET NOT THE WITCHES LIVE!
And what does this ayine thinks. Does he want the special prosecuter to withunt my mother or his father? When they were chopping nyafu nyafu whom did they remembered.
You dey do something?
why are you always afraid of Special Prosecutor, if you have not done anything, get prepared if you have stolen a pesewa from the national coffers or any thing that does not belong to you, then get ready to face the Special Prosecutor, else shut-up, and see what NPP will offer to Ghanaians for the next four years.
Those who are clean and genuine are not afraid, and they will be free so my man, don't worry at all. Is only the stealers who will be prosecuted. Hahahaha Ghana b3y3 d3
isnt this premature? in any case, what are you afraid of if you are clean and have nothing to hide?
