This guy lawyer Akoto is qualified, a human rights persons, a prison graduate, student leader and what?
So because he is a friend to the president he should not be the SP? Nonsense.
A good choice by the president.
Jealousy will destroy NDC.
NANA WILL BE WORSE THAN DONALD TRUMP
Minister of finance brother, senior minister brother, Attorny general sister, special prosecutor brother and many more, We now live in cassava republic, who is to catch who? Thats Ghana and NPP for you
An ugly family. The AG is not a sister but is also ugly.
Who in your family is not ugly but ever attain such a position?
You morons will insult for the next four years to no avail. grow up!!!
Who told you the senior minister is his brother?
He's from Akim Awisa. Far from Nana
According to Maurice "...he described lawyer Akoto Ampaw as a courageous, incorruptible, principled and one who eschews injustice but expressed his big disappointment because he feels his allegiance to the New Patriotic Party ...

The old man is talking a lot of sense. If they are friends, the independent Prosecutor can never be neutral. When it comes to issues between NDC and NPP to which he belongs how can he be neutral? I doubt even if an angel woul ...

You are very stupid papa..Think before you talk Ok.God will punish u and ur family for calling someone's dad a dwarf.
Akoto Ampaw's credentials are clear and that is what is important. At least, this so called NPP Kokofu team is an intellectual one unlike John Mahama's Kokofu team which consisted of empty heads Lordina, Ibrahim and the likes ...

Eden are you aware that Akoto Ampaw is from the Hohoe area? So where from your Akyem mafia allegation?
A lot of NDC sympathizers are moronic, they have no healthy brains to reason, example, Koku Anyidoho.
Selorm, I'm glad you are proud of your ultra modern airport at Ho?
#mahamalegacy
Are you listening to yourself...
That person should be neutral period
Maurice, are you shocked? You ain't seen nothing yet! Even mentally challenged members of Akufo Addo's family will get appointment. This is the time for Akyems to feast on the spoils of war.

i have your back....
NANA ADDO APPOINT FAMILY AND FRIEND TO ALL THE HIGH POSITIONS IN HIS GOVERNMENT BUT GHANAIANS ARE GREEDY THIEFS,SO THEY DONT CARE TO JOIN HIM,
Nonsense, there are many lawyers. Why this wee and pussy man? Useless man. He forced his AIDS sister on the stupid Sekou Nkrumah. The sister is dead and Sekou is mad.
Onye soooomi
the man is a criminal. he will steal and his best friend lawyer will turn another way. Ghana is dead, from dead goat to criminal oluman.
Judge him on his job.
Everyone has party affiliation okay
YES....TALKING OF PARTY AFFILIATION.....MARTIN AMIDU TOO IS GOOD.....BUT HE IS ALSO AN NDC MEMBER......WHAT ABOUT THAT?...MAURICE AMPAW.
Oh thats the right answer to Maurice poor observations.Lets ses what may come out from Akoto, he is an excellent stuff and can deliver.
Oh now I have see the stupid person in Ghana. Buuuullu Buuuullu government nd it appointment. Fas))))) h)
Were you expecting to be nominated to that position? He knows him that is why he thinks he can do the job.
Anyway with Martin Amidu around, can Akoto Ampaw be corrupted and nothing is said and done?
AND THESE TWO GENTLEMEN CAN WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE THE SP'S OFFICE MORE EFFECTIVE AND 'FEARSOME'.
Martin Amidu is also NDC so what independence are you talking about?? If Amidu can prosecute his party members so can Akoto Ampaw
This is a joke. Dwarf appoints his wee supplier.
Oh Lori you are very funny. I always read your comments and you have never said anything positive. That is whatsup!
I comment on negative things. Do you know this wee supplier's Nick name?

hahaha I love Ghanaians
This is common sense, we need someone who is totally independent for this special and sensitive responsibility.
U crazy how can u know someone is independent, each of every Ghanaian have a choice of party
Good tell them
Gud point
Be patient and wait. By their deeds, we shall know them.
In the end it amounts to the same old story? How can any person appointed by a President in Ghana and for that matter be deemed to be independent? Are we kidding? Which ix why former President Kuffour should be applauded for ...

If you don't know someone, how can you trust him, the President knows everything about this man and he fit for the post,
If it's you, you will appoint your Wife.
You're absolutely right big man. The npp complained bitterly that the NDC had appointed the cronies, and put competence aside. So if the npp is doing same, then what was the need for myself n my team to come home n voted for ...

Did you read somewhere where he said the Ampaw is incompetent? Keep on seeing things as an ndc person. It's good for you
Maurice Ampaw has a point here. I am little concerned about this appointment
What is your concern Chief, I think Maurice wanted the job for himself. No one is totally independent. I rather he is influence by the president than his wife, friends or family. At-lease when the job is not done, we can blam ...

bestfriend so what the issue is if he can do job then fine
He cannot do the job. He is a common boy-boy to the Dwarf.
I can picture you with a silly grin across your face posting absolute nonsensical comments. Get a life as the dwarf is now the Pres and can do whatever it tickles him. Twat
Put the gun to your chin, not here. Dwarf-fuo. Any fool can be President. Even Trump is a President.
Lori,U always talk like a madness person why...Be wise and stop fooling around Ok and maybe some of ur family members are shorter than the President u called him Dwarf.
Ampaw its work or friendship do you want that Job?This one you have fail.please stop that
U don't know if he has an Npp membership card but he is Npp? Add the sympathiser to it. Emotions upon emotional assessment. Smh
You appoint a staunch member of the npp as independent prosecutor? Nothing has changed . It is not different from the Attorney general political portfolio. Nonsense
Would it have been okay if Nana appointed Martin Hamidu, a known NDC member as the independent prosecutor? What would have made that okay which would not be applicable in the case of Akoto Apaw? And by the way, can you give m ...

Ampau is 100% right, it has to be Amidu.
Yes I agree,I did say that NPP party is tribalistic based on who you know and for friends and family
Oh Jay,be wise please..NDC Appointed Martin Amidu and is he not an NDC member..Stop that stupid talks
how can u know that a person is independent,

Yes I agree with you. Please nana, I support you 100% but take an independent person so that nobody will be able to accuse of bias. Please, I don't hate Ampaw either, he is good but Ghanaians talk toooooooo much.
I am npp but in this case I believe
I agree with ampaw ..
If we want genuine transparency
I don't think Nana Addo interested in other part of the North:He is a "cherry picker"(pick and choose")
Nana is an apology to ghanaians
A very wicked dwarf. And he prefers ugly people.
WHY DO YOU THINK HE WILL APPOINT HANDSOME MINISTERS? TO LOOK BETTER THAN HIM?
I believe what he is saying makes sence. I think everybody was waiting for Martin Amidu. He is right, Akoto Ampaw can assist Martin Amidu.
This is just comedies for you guys. Prez Nana Addo will show Ghanaians red card.
A GOOD POINT RAISED! BUT NEITHER AKOTO AMPAW NOR MARTIN AMIDU IS SUITABLE FOR THE SP POSITION - THEY BOTH WEAR PARTY COLOURS. WHILE IT IS NOT PUBLICLY KNOWN THAT AKOTO AMPAW IS A CARD-BEARING MEMBER OF NPP, HIS CLOSENESS ...

This man is a bad choice for "independent" prosecutor. How independent can he be? What prevents Nana Addo from appointing Martin Amidu the hatched man to do this job? He's the best qualified Ghanaian for this office.
He needed a highly neutral person with no political colors.
Ampaw or whatever you call yourself, check yourself before you comment about others. When you live in glass doors do not throw stones. Stop lying to people because it will not take you anywhere.
Mr Ampaw is not the first person to say this. I have already said this. This No. 9 Ampaw is a useless man. From Socialist to right wing bootlicker. A bad luck man of death.
Is this the same Maurice Ampaw who said he was going on coconut hunger strike because he wants the muntie trio to stay in prison? He claimed he saw angels while on the strike. Has he come out of the coconut hunger strike? ...

I'm a supporter of the NPP and in that matter Nana Addo. I think lawyer Maurice Ampaw is making sense here.
Please SP is important but we still need inland port, Kumasi international airport and a network of subway with manageable trains....
This sp is only coming to deal with the ndc and not anybody from the npp. Shameful act from the president
What ever u do people will talk about u so Nana trust in God and do the right'
THE FACT THAT HE IS NANA ADDO FRIEND DOES NOT MEAN HE IS NOT GOING TO PROCECUTE NPP GUYS WHO STEAL FROM THE GOVENMENT. NANA ADDO IS NOT GOING TO STEAL OUR MONEY, SO HE EXPECTS THE PEOPLE HE IS WORKING WITH TO DO THE SAME. IF ...

Corruption is perception so if you appoint ur closed friend as independent prosecutor what do mean? Job for friends, he is not serious
Ampaw do you wanted the president to appoint you or Dramani? Remain in opposition for good.
Maurice Ampaw don't worry your head over Akoto Ampaw ( Uncle Che)he is the best Guy. For your information Uncle Che is a card bearing member of the Great CPP.
Because this is a cancer affecting the whole Continent member states should have a protocol where the Special Prosecutor should be appointed from another Country.
Let's be Serious for once
Are you neutral Maurice Ampaw? And how do you understand politics as a lawyer? Are expecting an nd can to be chosen? Big mouth and noise making doesn't proved you to be wise OK? Grow up!

Are you expecting an ndc man to be chose? How do you understand politics as a lawyer? Are neutral,Maurice Ampaw? Shut up!
Why is Maurice disappointed? Maurice you can never compare yourself to Akoto Ampaw. You dare not go near him
What has this got to do with political party's affiliation.
He is the lawyer Nana can trust. And any good lawyer or professional person go about their duties according to the laws and regulations not political parties affiliation
is like you talk too much. Akoto Apaw once said, he is not a member of npp.
so what are you talking about?
He is a boy-boy.
Are we sure sure Mr. Akoto Ampaw has indeed been tipped for the SP office? How can that be when such a position doesn't even exist?
Akoto Ampaw is CPP
THIS FOR YOU I GHANA.
I think Hon Martin Amidu should be considered to operate the affairs of the special prosecution board
But that Martin Amidu is an NDC member and Nana Addo don't trust any NDC members cos thieves.
I perfectly agree with you Matin Amidu is qualify
