The Special Prosecutor has accused two investigators working in his office of delaying swift probes into major corruption cases especially that of sacked CEO of the Public Procurement Authority (PPA), Adjenim Boateng Adjei before him.
A statement issued by Mr Amidu said, “the resolution of the Adjenim Boateng Adjei case is taking too long to investigate because the seconded staff investigators appeared to be compromised.
Hence, he has asked for an interim report to be submitted to the President on the referral of the Adjenim Boateng Adjei case.
Mr Amidu further explained that when the first draft report was submitted to him, he felt scandalised. As a result, he called a management meeting on August 10, 2020, with the investigators and pointed out how the incriminating evidence in their possession were inconsistent with their interim report.
He said he suspended all on-going investigations in all cases except those affecting pending cases in Court and tasked the investigators to tabulate within one week, the total deposits Mr Adjei had made into his bank accounts.
This is still outstanding to date. Mr Amidu commended CHRAJ for its work and report on the PPA boss but was quick to add that it understates the amounts disclosed by the bank statements from the three bank accounts of Mr Adjei exhaustively reviewed by the Auditor General for this Office.
