Live Feed: Amidu's Face-To-Face With Appointments Committee
13.02.2018 LISTEN

In few minutes Martin Amidu will appear before the Appointment Committee of Parliament to be vetted for the position of the Special Prosecutor.

Apart from the vetting, he has two big hurdles to confront- a mystery petition challenging his nomination and seeking a psychological examination for the man who was the Attorney General and on his own as private citizen won landmark cases in the judgment debt scandal involving Alfred Woyome, Waterville and Isofoton.

There is also a second hurdle, a writ filed at the Highest Court of the land challenging the nomination of Amidu on the grounds that he has exceeded the age acceptable for public service.

The petition and writ were all filed by members of the NDC, in a bid to stop the man, who remains a member of the NDC, from assuming the position of the first Special Prosecutor.

Despite these hurdles, the Appointments Committee has vowed to continue with the vetting of Amidu.

The citizen vigilante, as he has come to be known, is already present in the holding room, calm, with no expression of fear or anxiety. He is waiting to be called for what is likely to be one of the longest vetting processes in the history of the country.

Myjoyonline.com will bring a live update of all the drama, adorned with pictures and videos.
