According to Amidu, it was wrong for Parliament to investigate the matter especially because it involved some Members of Parliament.

He said the President was given the nod because of his position against corruption in the country, and should thus ensure that he fulfills that promise by tackling corruption effectively.

In his latest article, the Citizen Vigilante said Parliament was the wrong body to have investigated a bribery allegation made against the leadership of the Appointments Committee.

According to him, it was wrong for Parliament to investigate the matter especially because it involved some Members of Parliament.

He said the right body to investigate the issue was an independent Commission of enquiry tasked by the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

"The President of the Republic was elected upon an anti-corruption agenda and it is expected that he will put this matter to rest by setting up a Commission of Enquiry under Article 278 of the 1992 Constitution to assuage the public’s suspicion of any perception of unconstitutional cover-up or window dressing in this matter."

"This is a challenge to the President because his party, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) on whose behalf he promised the fight against corruption is the majority in the Parliament against which the allegations of bribery have been made in the Appointments Committee and which also supervised the unconstitutional investigations. May the anti-corruption wishes of Ghanaians for changing the Government at the polls on 7th December 2017 not be in vain!," he said.
