Mr Charles Cromwell Nanabanyin Onuawonto Bissue [Mr Former Secretary to the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining] has issued a firm response to a writ filed by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), which seeks to prosecute him and Mr Andy Thomas Owusu for alleged corruption and misuse of public office for their personal gains.
In a statement released on Tuesday, April 29, Bissue confirmed that the OSP had initiated legal proceedings related to the controversial Galamsey Fraud documentary published by investigative outfit Tiger Eye P.I. in 2019.
In a swift response to the allegations, Mr Bissue said: “I categorically assert that I have always acted in full compliance with both the legal and ethical obligations of the office I held and the laws of the Republic of Ghana. Any suggestion of misconduct is baseless and will be vigorously challenged through due process.”
He further called for transparency in the trial, urging the OSP to present a complete, unedited, and unaltered version of the investigative video forming the basis of the prosecution. According to him, this is critical to ensure that the truth is fully revealed, without distortion.
