A senior source at the Castle has told the New Statesman that the President, John Evans Atta-Mills, has demanded for the resignation of his Attorney-General, Martin Amidu, with immediate effect.
Mr Amidu�s resignation, according to our source, is expected to be made public at the weekend.
This development, according to the source, happened after a crucial meeting with leading members of both the party [NDC] and government which concluded that the press release by the A-G has made his position untenable.
The President subsequently met with the A-G and offered the option of resignation before he is pushed out. However, the A-G, according to a source at the Ministry of Justice has offered to present a full report to the Castle giving evidence to support his allegation.
Our Caste source says, the A-G is expected to meet the President for the last time at the Castle this afternoon.
�We expect him to bring his resignation letter and the evidence that he claims to have about a cover up,� the source stressed.
In his explosive press release, the government�s legal officer accused another cabinet member of perverting the cause of justice in an attempt to cover up �gargantuan crimes� against Ghana.
The GH�58 million payment to Mr Alfred Woyome has been described by the opposition as the single biggest act of corruption against the state.
