Martin Amidu Is A Man Of Integrity, But He Got It Wrong This Time - Kwaku Baako

Managing Editor of the New Crusading Guide, Kweku Baako has discounted the allegations by the 'Citizen Vigilante' and former Attorney-General, Martin Amidu regarding the judicial undercover investigation by Anas Aremeyaw Anas. Making his submissions on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo', Kweku Baako asserted that Mr. Amidu's allegations are flawed. He noted that Mr. Amidu seeks to link the Tiger Eye PI undercover investigation revealing corruption in Ghana's judicial system to previous works by the team that were supposedly aided by the late President John Evans Atta Mills. He explained the claims by Mr. Amidu that the Mills' government tasked Anas to expose the rot at the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) following his investigation at the Customs, Excise and Preventive Services (CEPS). Though describing Mr. Amidu as a man of integrity, Mr. Baako however believed the former Attorney General is being speculative because of his ‘baseless’ premises. “He is a man of integrity. He means well for this country but of course he has raised issues and the issues must be contested, and contested on facts and figures and evidence…He is seeking to link that last wish of Anas to the judicial corruption but unfortunately, and Anas is clear on it; it was ‘Soul Takers’. The Soul Takers came, 2014. It was premiered in 2014. "And President Mills is in that particular clip when he went to customs to say that ‘I want to use this occasion to send a signal to your colleagues at DVLA that one of these days we will descend on them.’ It is after this that Mills asked Anas that do some work on DVLA and Anas proceeded." He further said, "There’s a disconnection between the judiciary corruption saga and the time he’s talking about. What is in between there is DVLA and it’s well documented even in the video that Anas showed that that was the last wish of President Mills but that was a project that Prof Mills asked.” To him, Mr. Amidu wants to shift attention on the judicial case hovering in the country. "Martin (Amidu) got it wrong. His foundation, his pillar, speculative, rumor-mongering; I mean it saddens me because I say he is a good guy. He is a great patriot but we all commit errors. The conviction with which he pushed this line consistently and read what he is put out today is hard-hitting… “I see an element of shifting cultivation. I see an element of somebody insisting on a protracted discourse without providing anything of evidential value to back what his key claims are…He builds a very terrible context about Ghana @ 50 verdicts…and he proceeds on this false premise...It’s unimaginable coming from somebody of his pedigree, caliber, integrity.”
