I Will Treat Crime as Crime - Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu Declares

will treat crime as crime and nothing else as he goes about the

Secrecy, Mr. Martin Amidu said throughout his 43 years of practice as a
lawyer, he has maintained a high sense

Prosecutor of the Republic. He pledged his unwavering commitment to the
people of Ghana and to the fight against corruption.
