Martin Amidu is eligible to serve as Ghana’s Special Prosecutor, the Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday.
In a majority 5:2 decision, the Apex court dismissed the case challenging the eligibility of Amidu to hold himself as Special Prosecutor due to his age.
The decision read by Chief Justice Anin Yeboah said the retirement age for public officers does not apply to the office.
Former Deputy Attorney General Dr. Dominic Ayine who filed the case says a true and proper interpretation of Articles 190(1)(d), 199(1), and 295 of the 1992 Constitution, the retirement age of all holders of public offices created pursuant to Article 190 (1)(d) is sixty (60) years, and not beyond sixty-five (65) years.
