Former National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament (MP) for the La Dadekotopon constituency, Nii Amasah Namoale has emphatically stated that telling lies has become a daily norm of no offence in Ghana.
To him, he is liable to make such comments because the Special Prosecutor nominee upon his frequent allegations made against high profiles over the years in his articles could not justify himself during his vetting, claiming his allegations were his perception.
“Telling lies has now become part of Ghanaians and has no legal implication, rather it becomes a crime when it is stated under oath”, he said.
In an interview on Kasapa FM’s morning show, Namoale advised the office of the Special Prosecutor not to work with perceptions as he noted before the Appointments Committee, but with hard core evidences.
“Members of the NPP should not think that the appointment of the Special Prosecutor will automatically put a stop to protocol dealings, they are still in existence and cannot stop. Their numerous hypes will not make any difference to the old system”, he stated.
According to him between the Special Prosecutor and Minister of State in charge of prosecutions (Attorney General), there is no difference as they have just wasted our time.
“I say so because Martin Amidu cannot have a final say on any findings or prosecution he makes, every final say with respect to any prosecution remains in the pocket of Gloria Akuffo, the Attorney General of the republic of Ghana”, he added.
