Mrs Betty Mould, Attorney General and Minister of Justice has dismissed assertions the Principal Accountant at the Sports Ministry, Adim Odoom is a whistle blower.
Mr Odoom in a 17 point allegation accused the Sports Minister, Alhaji Muntaka Mubarak of widespread corruption and misappropriation of funds.
The Minister was probed but was exonerated of all allegations by National Security for lack of evidence, leading to the interdiction of his accuser- Odoom and the resignation of the Minister.
Anti-corruption campaigners have chided the president who ordered the interdiction, saying the action might deter future whistle blowers from blowing the cover of corrupt public officials.
But in an interview with Citi news on Monday, the Attorney General said the accusations were not made under the cover of a whistle blower.
She explained whistle blowers provide information only on condition of anonymity, adding, that was not the case with Mr. Adim Odoom.
Mrs Mould maintained Mr. Odoom was willing and ready to defend his accusations, a reason why he sent them to the President with his signature boldly appended.

"According to the BNI report, Alhaji Muntaka acquired a visa for his alleged girlfriend Edith Zinayela by falsely presenting her to embassy officials as an executive administrative officer of the Sports Ministry.
She travelled with the minister to Germany at the expense of the state." IF THIS IS NOT FRAUD THEN WHAT IS IT? I DONT KNOW IF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL DID PASS HER LAW EXAMS.
This, according to critics is a clear case of fraud for which the Asawasi MP should be prosecuted.
