Accra, Ghana – As the December 7, 2024, election day draws near, former Special Prosecutor Martin A. B. K. Amidu has sounded an alarm over the deceptive tactics employed by certain anti-corruption entrepreneurs and lobbyists. These individuals, according to Amidu, are aiming for appointments from the winning candidate of the upcoming presidential elections and are willing to mislead the electorate with baseless arguments and fabrications against their perceived adversaries.
In a statement dated May 23, 2024, Amidu stressed the critical role of genuine anti-corruption advocates in safeguarding the integrity of the electoral process and upholding the 1992 Constitution. He emphasized the necessity for these crusaders to ensure the electorate is accurately informed.
“This is the time for genuine anti-corruption crusaders to defend the 1992 Constitution by insisting that the electorate must be apprised of the truth to make an informed decision between the two evils they will face at the 2024 Presidential elections,” Amidu declared.
Amidu’s statement highlights the risk of misinformation and deceit in the lead-up to the elections, urging voters to seek the truth amidst the barrage of political rhetoric. He called on authentic defenders of the anti-corruption movement to remain steadfast and guide the electorate towards making well-informed decisions.
As the election approaches, Amidu’s warning serves as a critical reminder of the importance of truth and integrity in the democratic process, urging all stakeholders to prioritize transparency and accountability in their engagements with the public.
