A Deputy Chief of Staff, Samuel Abu Jinapo, has admitted that the appointment of Martin Amidu to the Office of the Special Prosecutor is sending shivers among members of the current government.

Mr. Jinapor who was speaking on Metro TV's ‘Good Evening Ghana' show said the appointment of Mr. Amidu as Special Prosecutor has discomposed some staff at the Presidency.

Adding that, the principled nature of Mr Amidu will make it impossible to for him to compromise his reputation to please anyone.

“Let me tell you, some of us…within our own ranks, some people are somehow nervous about Mr Martin Amidu, the man is…the President says so be it. He wants a man who will check all of us and expose corruption where he finds it. He doesn’t want someone who excuse my language is a stooge, or someone who anybody can call and say take right or left and the person will take right or left. He wants somebody who will fight corruption and fight it relentlessly,” Abu Jinapor told host Paul Adom Otchere on ‘Good Evening Ghana show’ on Metro TV.

President Akufo-Addo on Thursday evening named the former Attorney General as the Special Prosecutor subject to Parliamentary approval.

This was after he assented to five Acts including that of the Special Prosecutor  on January 2, 2017, which were passed by Parliament last year.
