Martin Amidu further challenged Kennedy Agyapong to produce the basis of his allegations if he has any.
“I have never been to Germany on any occasion for a medical checkup. I don’t know any German hospital or clinic and therefore, these allegations are false. If he has documents on me having gone for medical treatment in Germany, he should produce them…The whole of my tenure, from the PNDC in 83 to when I left office on the 19th I did not have the opportunity to visit Germany…,” he said.
Kennedy Agyapong, during a live discussion on Net 2 TV alleged that Martin Amidu, the former Special Prosecutor has a medical problem for which reason he should not have been appointed.
