Akoto Ampaw is Special Prosecutor
This article is closed for comments.
YES THIS MAN CAN DO THAT JOB.
Yes, and he will do a great job. Kudos, civil society.
Where shall we get independence prosecution and neutrality when this man is known not only as an NPP sympathizer but a member of their legal team.
Not only a member of the NPP legal time, but a member and partner to Akufo Addo's law firm.
I am so delighted that Akufo Addo did not appoint Alamisi Hamidu Amidu to that post. I believe he realized the Damocles' sword in Amidu and left him out. Now Amidu can continue to castigate John Dramani Mahama.
This man is very competent.
political appointment to prosecute opponents. thats all, he will fail.
kinsley do you expect the president to appoint a member of the John Mahama's corrupt team? Do you expect the president to appoint JJ Rawlings for this job? Do you expect him to appoint Haruna Iddrisu? Funny
Then this man has a problem! So many people and cases to investigate. Has he got the prisons to contain the thieves? Well, we are most interested in the retrievals.
well deserved.
Imagine UDS offering Applied Biology without a laboratory. What applied about such a programme. You can now see why graduates come out of school and become useless.
INDEPENDENT NPP PROSECUTOR
Why be afraid if you have no skeletons in the cupboard?
Special Prosecutor, Arise!!!
The 300 cars parked at Ibrahim Mahamas compound is questionable. When we were least expected, the John Mahama homeless saga was all about a bungalow theft. Is time to visit the cowboys to know more about their foolish adventu ...

Well, is this not the same old case of mounting the ring with one's own father/son/brother as the referee?
1- Kufuor has his office of Accountability right under his own pillow;
2- Mahama made sure he violated his so-calle ...

Why question it if that has been the trend, as you rightly point out.
You forget where you come from.
It works well that way.
Prez Trumnp has close family amongst his advisors so what's new?
Thank you, my Dear. But where then is the promised change? Maybe in the quality of performance to be delivered? But then the start looks shaky..Isn't it?
Again, the electorate will always be the better judge.
FORWARD EVER!! ...

were you expecting your name to have been mentioned?
But we can't bring someone from outside the country, and everyone in Ghana support a party so let's wait and see what he does
Better days ahead
But do you expect the president appoint a member of the John Mahama's corrupt team? Do expect the president to appoint JJ Rawlings for this job? Do you expect him to appoint Haruna Iddrisu???
Stupid guy. Do you want Nana to pick from the corrupt NDC legal team????.
Thank you! Very disappointing!
You have the Tsatsus and the Lithurs, let them defend you if you are hauled before the courts. Prosecution is not the same as conviction.
yes , i agree with you, but the questing is, if this same politicians wont force him to take some decissions again?
I can now confidently confirm that, this aimless dwarf has dumb brains. How can u appoint an NPP foolish supporter as the independent prosecutor? Why is the independenetness? This useless dwarf intentionally appointed this id ...

Independent indeed!!!
Is that surprising?
First time you've that?
The Special Prosecutor will also arise!!
First time you heard that?
How can the dwarf appoint a person who is a partner in his law firm as an independent prosecutor. A person who defended the dwarf in court to be independent? Oh are we so daft to agree that this person is will have an indepe ...

Oh my brother,if these two men are your family members,won't you be proud of them?
can u compare yourself with them academically.
I guess you were expecting your useless thick parents to hold this position inis? You're a fucking useless fat cunt. And I wonder the fucking pussy whof gave birth to you.....
Every event has a cause. When the cohorts of that fake ex-president get apprehended with very tangible reasons, you will shut that your stinky beak. Idiot.Shame!!!Nana Aba ampa.
STOP CURSING YOURSELF.You are doing yourself more harm than good.
Whom should the president appoint? Mahama? Or Atuguba? Hahaha. You can cry all the blood in your body! Your level of thinking is too low for you to understand. Sorry for you. Low level creature!
I guess you would have preferred Donald Trump, being the idiot that you are.
Please, mind your speech!
Be mindful that you are not the only person viewing the content of this medium
Hahaha....You can't even hide your stupidity huh? That aimless dwarf is your President, take it or leave it. Aboa like your kind and kin. You are very hurt that Thief John Mahama lost huh? Stupid scoundrel
Aboakwa Whr is conventional wisdom
U call him dwarf? U r such an embicile!! Siaman
He is far better than your whole family brains put together. Kwasia kurasini kraman ba.
ur mother is a draft
So u can't speak without insulting grow up school boy
I agree with u .... the president is just a stupid old dwarf
Let the president appoint you instead since you don't belong to any polI tical party. Foooòooooool.
So Martin Amidu's damaging attacks on NDC have not been rewarded!!!
Now that we shall see Amidu's reaction after he reflects on how stupid he has been. This will result in a sudden bitterness towards NPP. Watch this space!
Not Independent.
Lawyer Akoto Ampaw is not an Akyem man despite the name. He is from the Jasikan area and is a Buem.
He is from Lolobi, near Hohoe. Same town as Franklin Cudjoe
But jasikan re Akans pepole migrated from Ashanti . So they have Ashanti blood .
This is the guy who defended Wereko Brobey for his rot at Ghana @ 50. Has defended NPP at all times. So what's the sense in the change to special prosecutor's name?
He can successfully persecute NDC guys but not NPP. All sh ...

Another job for the boys. New Pathetic Party at work
Of course he will. Is he not from the President's Law Firm as is Ms. Gloria Akuffo, the Attorney-General & Minister of Justice? They know want Nana wants and they will be a good Kokofu Team.' You aint seen anything yet.'
Excellent choice. This man has what it takes to do a great job. I know him personally and wish him lots of luck and success.
Thank you Mr. President for such a wonderful appointment. Kudos shayshay
This is the man,he's too much.Long time Nana,God bless Ghana.
What a shame and joke. We are nation of jokers.

Mr. Nepotism Man...May I educate your ignorance... A prosecutor is not a judge...learn and understand or better still consult your dictionary before you post anything here...
So you now know that those from Buem, Jasikan, Santrokofi,etc are not part of the Volta Region. This man is neither Ashanti, nor Akyem but from Buem. He will deal with you whoever faulted bigtime.
With God on your side, you will succeed. Don't be deceived by the name. He's not an Akyem but Voltarian
But Mama's poodle.
ALL FROM NANA'S AKYEM'S FAMILY. THEY ARE GOING TO LINK NANA BOOT. WE ARE ALL IN GHAA. NANA NPP SHOULD O THERE TIME WILL COME SOON.
the an Akoto Ampaw is Voltarian
Lolobi near Hohoe and he is not Akan nor Buem , and his mother from Hohoe
A SPECIAL HIT MAN FOR NPP AGENDA!
What a fantastically screaming appointment!!!.
That is how you get the job done-excellently to uproot the Mahama doctrine and front loaded policy of stealing here, stealing there and stealing everywhere.
You absolutely blo ...

Wee smoker no go do fooko.
if its Akoto Ampaw then, am in support. I bet you the appointing authority will regret very very soon once he starts biting. He is a man of serious integrity. Not the one my mentor Papa J TALKS ABOUT
It's time for democratic revolution and it is going to be powerful than the June 4th!
We have become so cynical. There will always be people in the society who will doubt the neutrality of whoever was appointed. This was a promise. We should give the current government the space to do what they promise whilst ...

Did you do that 4 years ago????
Where is John Mahama's jealous friend Martin Amidu? His friend the dwarf has forgotten of him.
He's to investigate and prosecute all crimes from previous governments
I saw this gentleman on the npp bench during the the 2012 petition hearing. How independent will he be? No doubt he has all it takes to hold such a position. Some of us will how independent he will be
wow che che go get them
In Ghana we read politics in everything lets allow the president to work. From what I know this guy is a no nonsense man, even Akuffo Addo would not venture crossing his path. Both NPP and NDC will be watching their back. We ...

AKUFFO ADDO friend,NPP is for friends and family
Akoto Ampaw is a known NPP member. How independent will he be? Ghanaians cannit be fooled. There are equally qualified renowned lawyers without known political affiliations, but were ignored. Job for the big boys!
What a great news! Lawyer Akoto Ampaw is a famous and great lawyer.I'm happy for him.He will do a great job.
If the President ,Nana Akufo Addo really need an independent prosecutor and not that he wants to create unnecessary or duplicated positions in order to offer his party members work to do,then he should appoint me, Abdulai Mah ...

He worked for npp but not a member,a man with integrity.
His name is to be found as a member and partner of akufo addo's law firm. Google it!
Akoto Apaw is NPP member and lawyer, how independent is he.
How independent can he be? Why not select someone outside your party?
Why not select a person from your family instead? Stupid
AKOTO AMPAW IS SPECIAL
Detained xxx times by the Rawlings regime, a hard line socialist, not corrupt, excellent lawyer.
SHAY SHAY IS NOT AN NPP MEMBER. HE IS A CPP MEMBER. HE IS THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB, HE DOES NOT CARE WHETHER YOU ARE AN NDC OR NPP ,ALL HE CARES ABOUT IS TO GET THE CRIMINALS IN OUR MIDST
IS THIS MAN AN INDEPENDENT PROSECUTOR? WAS HE NOT ONE OF NPP LAWERS?
Special Prosecutor is alien to the Constitution of Ghana
OH GHANA
How can this guy Akoto Ampaw become special prosecutor.
This Lolobi man can't do foko. Nana Addo's henchman. Tweeaaaaa
Envy Kofi.
He is an excellent lawyer
Where have I said Lawyer Akoto Ampaw is not an excellent lawyer?
Wee smoker.
the story says if it is true,when you go to the last sentence it also say Nana Addo said this on BBC,can't you see they are just speculating.aaabaaaa
is Nana know what he is doing. how can you appoint party lawyer as special prosecutor. we live in danger time. oh my God what mistake has Ghana done.to deserved this........
sekou nkrumah's father in law.
No, brother-in-law.
You guy should avoid the use of abusive words here and speak the truth. Who appointed Charlotte OSEI as EC? Is is not Mahama who appointed her? Why are you complaining? Let Akoto Ampaw come and do his work. period.
God bless our uncoruptable president, he's a correct choice
Wonderful choice

How can you appoint NPP Man and call him independent? What is wrong with Prez. Kwaku Addo?
You don't understand the difference between his office and his person. Even if he is an NPP. man and so what.
Will his office be operated by a computer or a robot? The man is a staunch NPP Man so how could he have the guts to prosecute fellow NPP members? This appointment defeats the very purpose for which it was created. Nana Addo a ...

NEPOTISM BE WHAT.WHAT A SHAME. WHERE IS THE CHANGE. YOU ARE DOING THE SAME AS THEY DID
A member of NPP legal team and you say he is an independent prosecutor? very laughable!
There is something seriously wrong with our Dwarf.

Unfortunate ! How can NPP man be independent prosecutor ? That is Nana Addo autocrat rules

The Minority must furiously reject the vetting of a hand-picked friend of this despotic Prez. Poor Ghana! I am afraid that we have revived Adolf Hitler.
Jail all the corrupt workers and retrieve our money
I doubt very much whether he will be truly independent. He is a known npp man
I support NPP, but I am afraid this is not an INDEPENDENT prosecutor. He cannot look in the eyes of his NPP friends and prosecute them, should they get involved in corruption. We need Right to Information Bill passed !
Nana addo the wee smoker doesn't want Hamidu because he will give NPP headech. Ndc is not in power so he will expose all the criminal activities.
An NPP member? and he is also a member of NPP legal team? Appointed as special independent prosecuter?
Why can't the president at least for once demonstrate some impartiality and neutrality in appointing a truly independent ...

Please akoto Ampaw, your office is not only for the opposition o. !! A word to a wise.
This appointee is going to do political witch hunt. As a supporter of Npp, i would have wish citizen vigilante was the nominee.
If politicians decide to be 'witches' we must hunt them coz witches are destructive!. Community full of witches doesn't progress.
A freemason Akoto Ampaw!
pls this man cannot being an independent prosecutor becos he is a politician and he belongs to NPP and also member of the party, so he will be influence by the government.

Expect more insults to be heaped on Nana Addo the dwarf or azizan president.

Definitely a fantastic choice. Another good move from Nana.
An independent prosecutor must not have any political affiliation period!!!!!!
when Atta Mills said he is a father for all was he not an NDC man....... Akoto kakai, scare them all!
But the fact that the president has found the need to create such a position speaks volumes about his desire to root out corruption not by words but by deeds.
And to the opposition who think he will come after you because he ...

Modern idealism vrs old idealism
it is going to independent persecutor or prosecutor? in fact someone who has already in the pass fighting for a political party's interest can not be said independent. oh Ghana.
Addison and Hamidu got nothing at all ?
No one is without political party in Ghana, even the prez belongs to a political party. Party affiliation is non issue in terms of the special prosecutor. The integrity and professionalism of the individual is what matters.
INDEPENDENT INDEED? SPECIAL PERSECUTOR
the true definition of the position is Special Prosecutor for the Opposition to harass and arrest opposition party members. When NDC take power in the future, they will have their own special prosecutor to run after NPP peopl ...

Wrong choice. He's not unbiased!!
U can't get a total independent person in Ghana. Nana Addo is a lawyer and all lawyers in Ghana are his learned friends. Even Atuguba some people have tainted him politically
Good step all people welcome.
How independent is Lawyer Akoto Ampaw?
He was a member of the NPP defence team. He also is a close confidant of the President. So what makes him an independent person?
Oooo,jobs for friends
He is in the same chambers with the president
what is independent about this appointment?
this man is taking Ghanaians for granted.
Mr president akufu Addo is wasting time to prosecute the n d c and with. Their gangantual money
Special 'persecutor', witch-hunter or prosecutor ?? Interesting times lie ahead !!
Pls where is Martin Amidu
Ghana is stupid and senseless country to leave in

who in Ghana does not support one party or the other. The EC chairperson even belongs to a particular party. its about integrity, professionalism and competence. Lets grow up!

You wanted him to pick from whose law chamber? Lithur's?

No Martin Amidu, no show! How independent can this Ampaw be? He's already tied to the apron strings of the NPP party!
Where is Martin Amidu? These akyem mafias don't see any difference between you and JM. Where are you now?
those making points on his political affiliation, did you expect Nana to appoint an Ndc man? Is this an ndc administration? look beyond politics and reason objectively.
May God be with him
