Anti-graft campaigner, Mr Amidu was nominated by President Akufo-Addo to be the first Special Prosecutor. This was in fulfillment of a campaign promise by the President during the 2016 general elections.
The Office is also expected to help reduce the workload on existing investigative agencies and, thereby, enhance their effectiveness.
