Galamsey Fraud: Prove Anas Is Principle – Mahama to Akufo-Addo

Former President John Dramani Mahama has charged President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to prosecute officials caught on camera indulging in acts of malfeasance and receiving illicit monetary consideration in the exposé on galamsey by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.

According to him, Nana Akufo-Addo should apply his “Anas Principle” talk to name and shame his officials caught in the corrupt act in the galamsey expose.

Undercover journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas in a 14-day investigation into the activities of the Committee had the secretary of the committee Charles Bissue compromising his integrity having accepted cash to facilitate the issuance of license among others.

Other security officers were also caught on tape receiving bribes to allow illegal miners to operate contrary to their core mandate to stop galamsey.

A day after premiering the documentary dubbed: “Galamsey Fraud”, Mr. Bissue informed the president Nana Akufo-Addo of his decision to step aside to allow investigations into the case.

Mr Mahama in a facebook post said, “The investigative exposé by Tiger Eye PI about officials at the Presidency aiding illegal small scale mining, ‘galamsey’, in Ghana, is an example of what our President Nana Akufo-Addo described in the attached video as the Anas principle.

“Despite all the efforts by the NPP and Government apparatchiks to distract the nation’s attention from the premiere of the video last week, the evidence still stares us in the face,”.

He aded: “The President should bring to book and sanction these people that we clearly see in the Anas video indulging in acts of malfeasance and receiving illicit monetary consideration.”

The investigative exposé by Tiger Eye PI about officials at the Presidency aiding illegal small scale mining, ‘galamsey’, in Ghana, is an example of what our President Nana Akufo-Addo described in the attached video as the Anas principle.

Despite all the efforts by the NPP and Government apparatchiks to distract the nation’s attention from the premiere of the video last week, the evidence still stares us in the face.

The President should bring to book and sanction these people that we clearly see in the Anas video indulging in acts of malfeasance and receiving illicit monetary consideration.

He should let his belief in the Anas principle show by taking action. Action speaks louder than words.

And while you are at it, let me respectfully inform you sir, that Anas and his team have never felt more persecuted and threatened for the work that they do, than under your administration.
