President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has reacted to the Special Prosecutor's complaint that there are some attempts to dissuade him from pursuing some criminal investigations.
The Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu on Tuesday revealed attempts by the Member of Parliament (MP) for Bawku Central, Mahama Ayariga to stop an investigation into the suspected commission of corruption and corruption-related offences.
Mr Martin Amidu in a statement accused Mr Ayariga of sending some personal friends, former colleagues, chiefs, pastors among others, to beg him [Amidu] to stop the investigations against him [Ayariga].
The Special Prosecutor also stated that as a result of these attempts, he has reported the Bawku Central MP to the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) for attempting to block a probe into the acquisition of three used white Toyota Land Cruiser V8 vehicles after refusing to honour an invitation by EOCO over the matter.
"After undertaking preliminary investigations into the suspected commission of corruption and corruption-related offences including the abuse of public office for private gain by the Honourable Mahama Ayariga, Member of Parliament for the Bawku Central Constituency, my office decided that there were sufficient grounds to invite the suspect for the conduct of full investigations into the allegations," Mr Amidu's statement said.
President Akufo-Addo's reaction
In a tweet on Thursday, President Akufo-Addo said: "To those who are sending chiefs and men of God to the Special Prosecutor to intervene on their behalf, to try to dissuade Mr Martin Amidu from conducting his investigations, from the little I know of the man, they are engaged in a fruitless venture."

Which of the ten commandments say don't insult someone who is a deceitful being? Quote the verse. Gimifo.
So now you guys/gals want to decide what the president should talk about at any point in time. You people forget he is the president and can comment on anything if he chooses to. To those who only insult the elderly, please read the Bible and you will know what is in store for you. And especially those who insult people in authority, you need to read the bible. You can disagree without insulting, you know. Try it sometimes.
This President is an ***barred word***, just look at his face and look at Amidu too, they are all zoo members. You see this Akuffo Addo is a killer, i will continue to expose him, Amidu take this from me, the JB killers mention Ken Agyapong and Akuffo Addo us the plotters and owners of the killing have you invite the 2 drug gangs for intervation, International criminal court is waiting you Amidu and the 2 notorious Akuffo Addo and Ken Agyapong
I THOGHT AYARIGA IS A "STRONG MAN" WHO refused to apologize in parliament. He is "solid" to insult journalists on radio for daring to ask him questions relating to GFA budget and spending. Ayariga made sure that Sakande went to jail for him to be made MP. This so called "Honorable man" is one of the loudest in parliament, yet is actively engaged in DISHONORABLE acts. He was a leading member of the group that "chopped" Martin Amidu into pieces, when Mills sacked him. Why is he begging now, if he possesses all these "excellent" characteristics of a STRONG MAN? He ain't seen nothing yet!
Waaaaaaa 75 year old president behaving like that a class one pupil. Amidu himself has addressed this issue so why do you too jump into it. You are now inviting people to begin to call you names. If there is any tweet, tweet about 1D1F, double track system that parents are saying they don't understand, tweet to explain why you sacked agyarko. A president acting like a baby, why wouldn't he be deceived.
***barred word*** bulldogg! Instead of being ashamed of your attempt to rob the nation but was caught, he is shamelessly trying to divert attention. You are really a BIG DOGG.
MR PRESIDENT, LEAVE THIS SAYING TO FORMAL PRESIDENT MAHAMA.
