President Mahama Denies Government Commissioned Anas’ Expose

As the Martin Amidu-Anas battle continues unabated, the third entity in the fracas has finally decided to join the party.

According to the President, government had nothing to do with the decision of Tiger Eye PI to investigate the judiciary.

This has become necessary after claims by former NDC minister Martin Amidu that the government of the late Atta Mills commissioned the investigation, and that President Mahama suppressed parts of it.

Speaking in Tamale, John Dramani Mahama categorically denied the allegations.

“I didn’t want to wade into this because Martin Amidu is somebody I respect very much. He is my elder brother and I will never enter into any altercation with him. I just want to put on record that government did not sponsor Anas in the investigation he did, I want that to go on record.” The President said.

“It is true that government has sponsored some of Anas’ work. When he did the work with customs, president Mills asked him to do it. When he did the work with COCOBOD, it was the Minister of Finance, Dr. Duffuor who asked him to do it.

“This work with the judiciary, we had nothing to do with it. Government did not finance it nor sponsor it,” he categorically concluded.
