Ghana’s Chief of Staff, Akosua Frema Oosei-Opare, has been directed by HE Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to make sure that, all emoluments and benefits due the immediate past Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu, are paid.
It can be recalled that, Mr. Amidu stepped down from his Office as Special Prosecutor on Monday, November 16, citing “political interference in the independence of his office”, as reason for his decision.
