How do we reward such a man; a man who risks his life, sticks to his conscience, goes against the wishes of a president in office at the time and got fired from his post? Parliament should pass a Whistle Blower Act and name it after him. Martin Amidu is a hero. After being fired as the Attorney General by President Atta-Mills, he went on a one man crime hunt against Waterville Holdings. This past Friday the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that his case was just and that Waterville should return the already paid money to the state. Joy News writes “The Justices in obiter statement, lauded Mr. Amidu for his patriotism and chastised the lawyers for Waterville for failing in their duty to protect the state from the frivolous claims.” This very statement from the Justices invites a look at how and why state institutions like the Attorney General’s office, The Finance Ministry and Bank of Ghana appended their signatures, and therefore, their approval for the default payment. ghanadot/commentary.ablorh.martinamidu.061713.html
