Lawyer Maurice Ampaw has alleged that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo did not appoint him as the special Prosecutor because of Ghana’s football striker Asamoah Gyan in this interview he granted Attractive Mustapha.
According to Lawyer Ampaw, he was not having issues with Asamoah Gyan until the unfortunate disappearance of popular hiplife artiste Castro after which the media called him for his views on the incident and he stated that those who took Castro to the venue where he disappeared should be invited for questioning and apparently that drew the ire of Asamoah Gyan and his family.
He said that the media was the one that twisted his statement thus creating enmity between him and Asamoah Gyan.
His row with the Blackstars skipper was made worse when after a few months, Sarah Kwabla also alleged that she was raped by Gyan and upon seeing the evidence he decided to back the lady in court.
All these happenings made Asamoah Gyan hate him and knowing Asamoah Gyan to have sponsored Akufo- Addo’s campaign and the fact that he is very close to the president, he has a stake in Akufo-Addo’s government.
“As it stands I wasn’t considered for the special prosecutor position because of Asamoah Gyan, though I wasn’t expecting that position, my name came up because Ghanaians know I’m a no-nonsense man and I can best do the work because am neutral”, Lawyer Maurice Ampaw stated.
He concluded by saying that a lot of Asamoah Gyan’s mates and close associates have been appointed by the president and this went to confirm that he has a strong stake in Akufo Addo’s government.
