He was the Chairman of the Appointment Committee that supervised the vetting of Martin Amidu who was then the Special Prosecutor nominee.
Right after his appointment and down to his swearing into office, many were hopeful that he will nip corruption in the bud or at least reduce it to the minimum.
However, the hope started fading when they couldn't see or hear any corrupt case being dealt with.
Subsequently, the man known as Citizen Vigilante tendered in his resignation citing interference from President Akufo-Addo.
The President however in a statement denied ever interfering in Mr Amidu's work.
Joe Osei Owusu, the Chairman of the Appointments Committee of Parliament who doubles as the Member of Parliament for Bekwai constituency recalled when the former Special Prosecutor was being vetted and further reacted to his resignation.
He was speaking in an interview with Kumasi-based Hello FM.

Martin Amidu is a Populist, disrespectful and arrogant. He had a big problem of coming in terms with Mahama becoming then Vice President under Mills' administration and subsequently President of Ghana.That, indeed, motivated his rivalrous ego to take Wayomi's case up to make Mills-Mahama Administration look bad. Further, his demeanor at the Parliamentary Vetting committe in light of his controversial stance to having children who a now adults can just not be pushed aside. Then, it speaks more of a person called Marti Amidu in Ghanaian political landscape. He makes big issues out of none.
