Martin A. B. K. Amidu, former Special Prosecutor, says his successor, Mr. Kissi Agyebeng is yet to learn the ropes when it comes to being an investigator or a prosecutor.
"The Special Prosecutor of Ghana, Mr. Kissi Agyebeng does not appear to have learnt the ropes of what it takes to be an experienced investigator and a prosecutor within the institution of law enforcement almost two years after his appointment by the President of Ghana to that august office.
"Kissi Agyebeng has refused or failed to learn quickly that the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) was not established as a corporate fisheries entity to go into the oceans, rivers, and other water bodies of crime, casting its net widely to scoop in every fish the net can catch, and then decide which type of fish meets its fancy to be retained as game or food for sacrifice to the gods of persecution and which to release back into the oceans.
"The invitation, arrest and bailing of Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng provides the clearest example of Kissi Agyebeng’s inexperience and incompetence as an investigator and a prosecutor for corruption offences," he said in his latest article.
His comment follows the arrest and subsequent bailing of former Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Prof. Kwabena Fimpong-Boateng.
Prof Frimpong-Boateng was invited by the OSP on May 16 as “a person necessary for the investigations into suspected corruption and corruption-related offences in respect of the activities and expenditure of the dissolved Inter-ministerial Committee on illegal mining, IMCIM.”
Although this action by Mr. Agyebeng has been widely criticised especially by the minority NDC, the former has defended the arrest, insisting that the former Chairman of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM), Prof Frimpong-Boateng is not the only person being investigated and neither is he the only government appointee who has been invited.
But Mr Amidu, who resigned from the role of Special Prosecutor after a clash with the government pointed out that “deficiencies in the investigatory and prosecutorial experience of Mr. Kissi Agyebeng is what has haunted him into overdrive to think that he can earn the trust of Ghanaians by appearing to talk tough and threatening to investigate and prosecute “everyone and every person” on mere suspicion of the commission of a corruption offence without first establishing reasonable grounds for such suspicion as though he was on a fishing expedition.”

Such a disgraceful talkative
Without a doubt, this attention-seeking old man needs an urgent mental health assessment before it's too late. From all indication, he has the onset of Fronto-temporal dementia whose symptoms includes personality changes, such as loss of inhibition, apathy, or inappropriate behavior of which the person is often unaware. ( Typical Amiduish), Loss of emotional warmth and empathy for others. A decline in language abilities – ( By heart talkative. Gibberish talker), Memory problems. Although day-to-day memory remains intact in the early stages, communication difficulties mean the problems seem more severe ( Evidence = Amidu can not comprehend that both Dame and Adjabeng are exceptional and intelligent young men who are doing law far better than him. This none performing fa1lu-re of a man is still drawing his pension at the state's expense for no job done. In China , AMrtin Amidu would have known his true size by now.
Martin Amidu has no shame.
Amidu the professional talkative, doing what he is competent of, just talking plenty! You are such a disappointment after failing so miserably in that office. You may keep talking and writing, but no serious person takes your word, you are seen as a real joke. You are so empty in practice!!
This is how Northerners are known for, they can’t do anything positively yet complain when someone is doing it.
Amidu again? The office of the special prosecutor is newly established office which is still at it's infant stage. There are bound to be challenges with any newly established organization. As someone who was the first to occupy that office and your long service as a lawyer you should rather be offering suggestions to your younger brother as to what to do to make the office relevant and working. When you criticize without offering alternatives, it's like the pot calling the kettle black. A time will come when nobody will take Martin Amidu serious person. To him nobody is right in Ghana except he Martin Amidu. You were offered the opportunity to write the wrongs and all you did was to keep complaining about petty things, now someone has taken over and all you do is to ***barred word***? We beg, mute.
This konongo kaya man again... You were given the job but you run away and now you are talking. You are only good at criticising. This is the character of these use11ess NDc team. P(NDC) ruled this country for close to 30 years with nothing to show us on ly talking and crisicing.
Amidu, we have more important things to read than this diatribe steep in professional jealousy! You were so incompetent you couldn't step a simple office with the resources at your disposal. Gargantuan incompetence!! No one reads nor discusses your article anymore. Little wonder John Mahama invariably called you "***barred word***" ***barred word***!!
The essay writer is here again.
That is all you know, write. You were given the job and in four years, you never prosecutored one fly.
