Wontumi’s Aide charged undercover investigators GH¢50k bribe in ‘Galamsey fraud
An Aide to the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the
New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako
alias Chairman Wontumi is among notable figures
captured in the latest undercover investigations
conducted by Anas Aremeyaw Anas receiving bribes.
Mr. Andy Owusu who played a role as a link man
between Anas and the Secretary of the
Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining
(IMCIM) Charles Bissiw charged GH¢50,000 for
his services, MyNewsGh.com has learnt.
“Mr Andy Owusu, a link man for Mr Bissiw
charged us fifty thousand cedis (GH¢ 50,000.00)
to get us through to him. We negotiated for forty
thousand Cedis (GH¢40,000.00) and he accepted
it. Out of this amount he accepted part payment of
fifteen thousand cedis (15,000.00). Mr Andy Owusu
was also the one who told us how much Mr Bissiw
was ready to accept to fast track the process for
us. Mr Andy Owusu also linked us to “school
boy†a national security operative for our
safety at the illegal mining siteâ€, Anas
Aremeyaw Anas posted on his Facebook page.
He is also insisting that Mr Charles Bissiw took a
total of a total of thirty five thousand cedis
(GH¢35,000.00)in cash from them when ORR
Resource Enterprise, presented itself as a small
scale mining company, whose license to mine had
expired. In spite of this expiration, we still
wanted to mine. We were prepared to go by the
government’s directive to be vetted and
verified by the IMCIM.
“We have paid Mr Bissiw a total of thirty
five thousand cedis (GH¢35,000.00) in cash. Our
first payment of fifteen thousand cedis
(GH¢15,000.00) was made on 22nd January, 2019,
through Mr Andy Owusu IMCIM near Jubilee House. We
made a second payment of ten thousand cedis
(GH¢10,000.00) on 30th of January, 2019 at the
same place. The last payment was on 8th of
February 2019. We paid Mr Bissiw ten thousand
cedis (GH¢ 10,000.00)â€, he revealed.
Meanwhile, Wontumi has described the journalist as
‘fraud, a thief and a nation wrecker’
who will stop at nothing but seek to destroy
hardworking and innocent Ghanaians.
