The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party(NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, has said that President Mahama should have appointed a former Attorney General Martin Amidu as Electoral Commission Chairperson instead of Charlotte Osei.

Speaking on Accra-based Neat FM Chairman Wontumi as he is popularly called said Amidu is incorruptible.

“Martin Amidu is an honest and transparent man. When Afari Gyan was about to retire as the EC boss, I said that I want Martin Amidu to become the EC boss because he is one person who is very true to his words and will never allow any dubious acts come his way”.

Chairman Wontumi said he has a firm conviction that the current Attorney General may have benefited from Woyome. He said that may have been her reason for discontinuing the case.

The Supreme Court granted an application by former Attorney General to orally examine Alfred Woyome over his payment of the 51 million cedis.

The judge Justice Enin Yeboah ordered the business man to appear before the court on the 24th of November for the examination.

Justice Enin Yeboah in his ruling said the application was granted because there was no formal evidence of execution of the courts order for the money to be retrieved hence the decision.

Amidu's application follows a notice filed by the Attorney General’s Department at the Supreme Court to discontinue the case it had earlier filed.
