Because they have seen the implications of the special prosecutor, they are now running away from it, he said and added that if they are men, they should sign the Special Prosecutor Bill and pass the Right to Information (RTI) Bill… and let us work with the two so that we can see those who are corrupt and those who are not.

Mr Asiedu Nketiah was of the view that the Special Prosecutor would rather deal with officials in the current government due to the several corrupt deals they have been engaged in.
