Greater Accra Regional Organizer of the National Democratic Congress [NDC], Anthony Nukpenu has described the office of the Special Prosecutor as a duplication, a waste of time and has nothing good to offer Ghanaians.
“I don’t see the creation of this office as any good step taken by this current government. This is just a waste of the task payers’ money which will not bring any merit to this country”, he said.
He explained that the Economic and Organized Crime Office [EOCO] already has the powers for investigation and prosecution, which have for the past years performed excellently well.
He added that it is up to the Attorney General and his team of prosecutors to be up and doing than playing sycophancy and looking into the faces of political parties.
“For me, bringing another Special Prosecutor who is as well going to be acting somehow more on the command of a board and the Attorney General is just duplication and a waste of time. The Authority in charge of prosecution in this country is the Attorney General’s Department, therefore if they feel we need more lawyers they should hire them to go to court with serious evidence of issues”, Anthony Nukpenu stated on Kasapa FM’s morning show programme.
According to him, he disagrees with the recent comment made by former President Jerry Rawlings because Martin Amidu’s actions show he lacks the integrity and credibility in fighting the position due him.
To Mr. Rawlings “The appointment of Amidu as Special Prosecutor from outside his own party shows the President is serious. It vindicates some of us. No developed country should hold back in assisting our country to improve the lives of our people.”
“Indeed, I don’t fear Mr. Amidu because I don’t see what he can do better than the Attorney General who is being empowered by the constitution to take legal actions. The job is not about you but about the law that binds the nation”, Anthony Nukpenu said.
“We are waiting for the evidence of the Special Prosecutor to prosecute past appointees”, he stressed.

We will all see whether it is a duplication or NOT! NDC has attacked this man and his office from day one. They are even in court, and you say you were fighting corruption? My foot!
It is tax payer and not task payer as in the script.... Why is it that it is only the NDC that has problem with SP office?
using a fish as a bait to catch another fish is a good thing to do and u can ask the fisherman. sometimes u may have to use more fish to get little but such is life. u wont always get what u want. if the nation have to use the remaining resources to retrieve the monies you have stolen, i will vote for it. is it ur money? do u even pay tax? what is ur problem? this is what Ghanaians want and that is why we voted for the npp. so what is ur own? go park urself somewhere my friend. but let me tell u, if u are one of those fishes then be ready bcos u will soon be in the net. 1d10>t!!!
What is Nukpenu's problem? Does he have a skeleton in his cupboard? These NDC people are showing nervousness in several ways. Let them calm down if they've done no wrong.
The office of the SP is different from the EOCO in my opinion since the office of the SP can investigate, prosecute cases and recover proceeds from crime. I don't believe,and I stand to be corrected, that there is an institution in our Country that has the three functions.
This end has No credibility! In one breadth NPP is not serious about corruption fight, in another breadth Amidus appointment is not necessary. Yet another Amidus is coming because of NDC, Wait till he starts and see if NPP is serious about corruption fight in Ghana or not. The likes of Ofosu Kwakye, minority in Parliament, Asiedu Nketia and the CHRAC boss appointed by Mahama to give armunition to NDC will all see.
We shall all see if it is waste of time and am shock the way some NDC guys talk concerning the appointment of the SP. Do they think it is only the SP who is going to prosecute. The Attorney-Generals office will still be in a full force so as Prez. Addo said when the CREATE,LOOT and SHARE squad are lined up we do not want to hear "this is witch-hunting".And the NCA trial is pending So lets wait and see "Mr doubting thomas and Co."
