The Special Prosecutor Martin Alamisi Amidu appears not to be interested in launching into the Anas Aremeyaw Anas’s latest exposé on corruption in football, albeit, now.
In an exclusive interview with Onua News on Thursday after the premiering of the undercover investigation conducted by Anas’s Tiger Eye PI, Mr Martin Amidu suggested it was too early for him to take up the issue.
“It is not for my office to investigate the case that is already under investigation by the CID. No I would not do that,” the Special Prosecutor maintained.
Some Ghanaians have disagreed with President Nana Akufo-Addo’s decision to request the police CID to investigate the GFA boss, Kwesi Nyantakyi for alleged fraudulent transaction.
They had expected him to report the embattled football administrator straight to the Special Prosecutor whom he has clothed with the powers to prosecute issues related to corruption.
But Martin Amidu explained that it would be improper for him to take up the corruption issue when an equally competent agency has been tasked to investigate.
“The CID is equally a state mandated-body capable of its mandate,” he asserted.
Some have commented that the CID lacks the credibility to investigate the matter in which Mr. Nyantakyi was secretly recorded, scheming to “takeover” the country through fraudulent dealings, linking the presidency in the process.
The Special Prosecutor was emphatic, “it is not for me to doubt the credibility of a state institution and that is where I would leave this matter, I wouldn’t like to comment on it again”.

what do you expect him to say, he is among those who question the methodology of Anas....i would have been surprised if he made a categorical statement on this issue....he thinks he knows it all
Ndc have problem with the police not Ghanaians. They were okay with them when they beat others to the extent a gentleman lost his eyes, but are against the same institution when they are in opposition and who cares? They lost in all the security forces which us hurting them so much that they are going crazy and they will lose again and again. I wonder which soldier will be that st***pid to stage a coup and hand the country over to thi*ves in the ndc. When ndc used peace keeping money to buy treasury bills and paid them less, ndc owed the military when they left office and they think the military are f000**00ls to bring them to power, if Gen,Oje couldn't who will do it for you? Try any nons*nse in Ghana and you will regret. If Ghanaians didn't know before they are now discerning and any st**pidity by vaga**bonds will be resisted with the force,they've never seen before.GO AND FIND JOB TO DO NDC LAZY F000**000LS ! Politics is not a permanent job,that's why it's not for poor people but the wealthy who just want fame. Asiedu Nketiah's utterances shows they are hungry, according to aN ndc presidential candidate Adam ndc is broke and can't pay their bills. Such us*less people want to rule Ghana again. None of them want to use their money to care for their party, unlike the NPP that people are excited to contribute to help the party even those in the diaspora organised fundraising to help the NPP, businessmen and women, traders and farmers, transport owners and a lot of people because it is an attractive party. Ndc is not attractive and their wealthy ones are stingy! They think they can use the Rawlingses again for their own parochial interest and dump them with insults and name calling but not this time. They've said sorry to the ndc, see your darling boy Mahama!
NOW EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT NANTAKYI AND GFA AS IF THEY ARE THE ONLY DEMONS IN GHANA. YES, THE LAW MUST WORK AND IF THEY DESERVE TO BE PUNISH FAIR ENOUGH. BUT WE MUST NOT FORGET OR GROSS OVER THE DOUBLE SALARY OF THE MPS. NYANTAKYI AND GFA SCANDAL SHOULD NOT OVERRIDE OTHER CORRUPT CASES IN GHANA.
So why was your office and position created? Is this a duplication and worse of all a waste of the taxpayer monies to maintain this unit of yours ? If so why not resign since there is an equally competent office to handle among other things frudaulent matters ?
Martin please call for the 2014 BRAZIL Scandal then you move to TIGER EYE
