Ofori-Atta & OSP Saga: Amidu Warns Agyebeng, Citing Past Lessons
Former Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu has jumped into the ongoing issue between former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta and the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP). Amidu is drawing on historical events to caution the current leadership of the OSP.
Amidu referenced the late Chief Justice I.K. Abban, and how he allegedly treated Justice G.E.K. Aikins during Aikins' struggle with prostate cancer. Amidu seems to be using this as a warning to Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng, particularly given the scrutiny of the OSP's investigation into Ken Ofori-Atta's financial dealings.
Amidu's Cautionary Tale
Amidu is framing the episode as a lesson about using institutional power wisely and humbly. He seems to be suggesting that the OSP should proceed with caution in their dealings with Ofori-Atta.
Background of the Issue
- The OSP, on June 2nd, claimed that Ofori-Atta hadn't provided medical documents to justify his absence from appearing before the office.
- Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng accused Ofori-Atta of acting in bad faith.
- Ofori-Atta's legal team, led by Frank Davies, strongly denies these claims, stating that the medical report was properly submitted.
The situation remains tense, with both sides presenting different accounts of the events. Amidu's intervention adds another layer of complexity to the already contentious issue. The public is watching closely to see how this matter will unfold.
Ultimately, Amidu's statement serves as a reminder to all those in positions of authority to act with fairness, compassion, and a deep understanding of history. The OSP's next steps will be crucial in determining the outcome of this case.
