Martin Amidu is a special prosecutor
The Ghanaian special prosecutor "asleep", Martin Amidu, who wrote more articles for the press than press notes, said he would not worry about ensuring that his " Bawku's son is wont "him, MyNewsGh.com ranked.
According to Mr. Amidu, Mr. Ayariga was allegedly involved in a number of procurement and tax offenses for which he is currently under investigation and could be brought before a court if the investigation was justified.
He said that he will hear Mr. Ayariga following a WhatsApp message that he sent to the head of Ghana's tax authority and which was leaked to the media. Mr. Amidu has vowed to get to the bottom of things.
"Hon. Mahama Ayariga is my son and will remain my son according to the custom of Bawku commune where he and my first daughter, Hagar, were born in 1974 and where his parents and I grew up. But the crime will be treated as a crime if he or Hagar commit offenses under my supervision under Law 959; period! Amidu swore.
Several false statements need to be corrected. L & # 39; Hon. Mahama Ayariga was never invited to the Special Prosecutor's Office on January 14, 2019 for inquiries or questions regarding the acquisition of an "ambulance for the constituency supported by the Municipal Assembly of Bawku … ".
L & # 39; Hon. Mahama Ayariga was accompanied to the Special Prosecutor's Office by an investigator from the Bureau of Economic Crime and arranged to be interrogated about an urgent letter addressed by that office to the Commissioner-General of the Ghana Revenue Authority, Mr. Kofi Nti, who was not copied to another person or entity.
The letter was forwarded on WhatsApp by the GRA to the Hon. Mahama Ayariga who in turn transmitted the message on WhatsApp with impunity to the Executive Director of EOCO on December 24, 2018. I was informed of the WhatsApp on December 25, 2018 and I have received a copy by email on December 27, 2018 after requesting it persistently. EOCO and this office have investigated the Hon. Mahama Ayariga for obstructing investigations and other alleged infractions and, as a result, for her commitment to communicate with WhatsApp messages intended for EOCO was audacious and suspicious.
L & # 39; Hon. Mahama Ayariga appeared before EOCO on 4 January 2019 but was not questioned about the source of the GRA leak and her phone was not taken as evidence. Rather, he was allowed to go to his riding without my knowledge as an investigator. As a result, I asked the Minister responsible for the GRA to investigate the leak of my letter to Mr. Kofi Nti and the Hon. Mahama Ayariga and then to EOCO.
L & # 39; Hon. Mahama Ayariga was accompanied by two lawyers to the investigative division of that office on January 14, 2019, where he confessed to receiving the WhatsApp call he had sent to EOCO's Executive Director and released him on bail. This survey is very important for the fight against corruption because many funds have already been lost to the public following the leakage of the actions undertaken by GRA to recover funds from tax evaders. This particular case has given me the opportunity to try to get to the bottom of this corruption canker.
The investigation of the leaks of my letter from the GRA continues, despite those who claim to have powerful parents in the government.
L & # 39; Hon. Mahama Ayariga and his lawyers can confirm that he was not questioned about an alleged ambulance for the Bawku Municipal Assembly on January 14, 2019, either in his investigation or in his testimony. Four photographs of the Hon. Mahama Ayariga, smiling in the company of one of her lawyers, is exposed to the news right out of this office on January 14, 2019, showing that there was no propaganda to sue anyone under the leadership of a government in power.
Coincidentally, a Yakubu Mumuni Nambe, member of the Assembly of the Bawku Municipal Assembly and parent of the Hon. Ayariga on the mother's side was invited the same day to an interrogation on the purchase of an ambulance by the Bawku Municipal Assembly. The City Director General, the Hon. Hajia Hawa Ninchema, appointed by the President and other personalities, had already been quizzed, as in our own way in the past, in the same ambulance – but never. Mahama Ayariga.
L & # 39; Hon. Yakubu Mumuni Nambe made a statement to the detectives in my office and was released on bail. It had nothing to do with the hon. The appearance of Mahama Ayariga at this office on January 14, 2019. That Hon. Mahama Ayariga would be invited to any ambulance, it will depend on the determination of the detectives responsible for the investigation of the Bawku ambulance.
L & # 39; Hon. Yakubu Mumuni Nambe and Hajia Hawa Ninchema are not members of the NDC. L & # 39; Hon. The elder brother of Nambe is appointed by the president to the board of the National Petroleum Authority.
The director general of the municipality is a known member of the NPP and I will not stop an investigation for that reason.
