Members of Parliament (MPs) are expected to approve the nomination of the Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu on Tuesday February 20, 2018.

Before the House will approve his nomination, MPs will debate on the report of the Appointments Committee.

Mr Amidu who was vetted by the committee on Tuesday was nominated by the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in January.

The committee approved his nomination after his almost nine hours vetting with the exception of one person objecting.

Some politicians have kicked against his nomination arguing that he is arrogant and he is a on mission to pursue a personal vendetta against National Democratic Congress (NDC) members perceived to be corrupt.
