The Legislative Instrument (LI) on the office of the Special Prosecutor has finally been laid before Parliament by the government.
Dominic Nitiwul who is the Defence Minister laid the document on behalf of the Attorney General on Monday, November 26, 2018.
The document has since been referred to the Subsidiary Legislative Committee for deliberations and it will take 21 working days for the instrument to mature into law.
The LI is one of the ingredients needed by the Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu in order to carry out his statutory obligations.
The LI will define the scope of operations for the office and what will be legally acceptable by the office to do in prosecuting its agenda.
This comes as at a time where ¢180million was allocated to the office of the Special Prosecutor according to the 2019 budget.
Martin Amidu, a member of the opposition NDC, was appointed by President Akufo-Addo as the first Special Prosecutor, an appointment that triggered a huge controversy.
His office has not begun operations as there is no Legislative Instrument.
