Former Special Prosecutor, Martin A.B.K. Amidu says the Minister for Justice and Attorney-General cannot be allowed to walk away with his penchant of talking down on the sovereign people of Ghana.
He says Mr. Godfred Dame cannot be using threats and intimidation to suppress citizens’ right to free speech in criticizing the weaponization of the process of criminal justice administration entrusted to his care under Article 88 (3) & (4) of the 1992 Constitution with the spurious rhetoric in the name of citizens running “extremely prejudicial commentary on cases pending before the courts”.
According to him the attempt by the Attorney-General through the press release dated 4 July 2023 to use the smokescreen of "prejudicial commentary on cases pending before the courts" to gag the citizens’ fundamental rights and freedoms to challenge the weaponization of the criminal justice system within the investigatory and prosecutorial process to perpetrate the autocratic governance of the Akufo-Addo regime is now becoming suffocatingly oppressive and unbearable.
"Mr. Godfred Dame, the Attorney-General should always remember that no condition is permanent and that the Chiefs and people he is threatening and intimidating now are the very people he met on his way up and would meet on his way down when he ceases to be the Attorney-General. As a protégé of Nana Akufo-Addo whom he trained from his law firm of Akufo-Addo, Prempeh & Co and appointed as Attorney-General, the perceptions of his independence and impartiality in that office has to be earned by his positive conduct and not by negative perceptions or suspicions that he is being used by the President to weaponize the Office of the Attorney-General against political opponents," he said in a statement.

The young AG is doing what most past AG and lawyers could not do so they are all over trying to bring him down. Tsatsu just threatened that Godfred will go to prison when his NDC party comes to power and now Martin is trying to catch some attention.
Amidu, you a wreck and good-for-nothing ex-SP. You are irrelevant and unnecessary as you are a joke and an incompetent ex-SP. Ohi3 feefle!!
Morally is it right for a citizen vigilante championing man to buy a state’s property? Mr Amidu should tell the people of Ghana if isn’t true that the house he is living in was a state house that he bought it cheap. Most Ghanaians are naive because of politics. How can a man become a moral crusader if he purchased a state property for his personal benefit?
Look at this one too. Failed SP
A pathetic soul and a huge disappointment. You always pick up unnecessary fight but you were given OSP with sweeping powers to fight corruption but couldn't do it yet took all the salaries and packs of OSP. That money was a waste of resources. That is your legacy. Mr Amidu don't waste our ears.
Who has gagged you? Yesterday, you said you are being “hunted” to be killed hence your life is in danger. Today, you are saying you are being gagged. Yet you are here saying what you are saying? What do you want? I think it is jealousy being that you were not able to accomplish what the current OSP is doing. You took the position with ill motive: turn around to destroy the Nana Akuffo Addo government.
Awww, it's now becoming pathetic. This old man's schizo is getting worse by the day. His family should rise and save him. He is so idle, he can't find anything to use his time for. AG, just ignore him as always
so this former OSP wont learn to stop his everytime lecture in law as he failed worfully as the OSP then. he faild us and when he saw failure glaring at him, he run away. he should pull uthe breaks on commentary. some of us are tired of him
