Former President Rawlings has congratulated Martin Amidu on his appointment as the country's foremost Special Prosecutor at the newly created office of the Independent Prosecutor.
Applauding President Akufo-Addo, who he said “couldn’t have made a better choice,” Flt Lt Rawlings was hopeful that Parliament would approve the appointment.
His comment follows President Akufo-Addo’s nomination of citizen vigilante, Mr Amidu as the Special Prosecutor.
Quoting the law that set up the office, Thursday, the President said he has accepted the choice of the Attorney General and will present to Parliament, the name of Mr Amidu for consideration.
At a brief ceremony to make the announcement at the Flagstaff House, President Akufo-Addo commended the public spiritedness of the man widely acclaimed as an anti-corruption crusader, a bulwark in the fight against corruption.
Reacting to the news former President Rawlings said “the president by this appointment has risen above partisanship and recognized a highly principled citizen.
“Mr. Amidu has proven to be a fearless anti-corruption crusader whose pursuit of truth and justice has won him national admiration," he added.
He called on all Ghanaians to offer the appointee the required support and information "in pursuit of what will undoubtedly be a challenging role.”
Flt Lt Rawlings also urged Ghanaians to pray for God’s guidance and strength for the former Attorney General as he works to restore the wheels of justice.

You are a fo*l, have you forgotten you sent 15 cases concerning Kuffuor's appointees to court and lost all? You people are just fo*ls by your hate and enviness so you do things anyhow. Which country in this world try cases judges have exonerated the suspects again? You are just fo*ls so don't talk about national affairs, do you know why Woyome is being asked to pay the money and his assets are being sold, because the court cleared him of lack of evidence by not providing real players who did the payment so he can't face the criminal aspect hence the civil to retrieve the money. Kuffuor's appointees have been tried with 15 cases with ndc layers being led by David Annan and lost all so you have no case to present again but you and your other appointees will go to jail if found guilty. Get ready, there is a photo going rounds on social media with ndc footsoldiers putting their hands on their heads weeping immediately they heard Sir Martin Amidu's name. You ain't seen nothing yet. You see how Ghanaians are happy? So how were you going to win the 2020 elections when these same electorates want to jailed? Ghanaians don't like ndc simple, you are wicked and very insensit*ve
Remember how Rawlings was breathing down Atta Mills' neck to prosecute NPP people for corruption? God being so good, the opportunity is now here to get those NPP people that Rawlings accused of corruption to be prosecuted. Jerry Rawlings, please set a good example by being the first person to provide the information to Martin Amidu to bring to book those corrupt NPP officials that the late Atta Mills refused to prosecute.
Are u surprise Rawlings is happy.They are being rewarded for campaigning for NPP.Are they saying Martin Amidu is neutral?Have they forgotten so soon he asked ppl to vote against the NDC.
IN AM NOT SURPRISED AT ALL BY THE PRESIDENT'S APPOINTMENT OF MARTIN AMIDU TO BE THE FIRST SPECIAL PROSECUTOR. I WOULD HAVE BEEN SURPRISED IF IT WAS NOT AMIDU FOR HE WAS THE ONLY PERSON MOST GHANAIANS LOOKED FOR. THEREFORE IT IS IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. MAY THE ALMIGHTY GOD RICHLY BLESS OUR PRESIDENT. AMEN
Congratulation Martin Amidu. Very good choice by the Attorney General and the President! Ghana is working! I have always believed Nana Addo is genuine in the fight against corruption. Anyone who misappropriate state funds should be prepared to account for it. Indeed we will see those who are corrupt and those who are clean.
