Anas’ latest expose on illegal mining in the country has brought to light how some members of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) are stabbing the President, Nana Addo in the back.
In the video, an aide, Andy Owusu of the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Bernard ‘Chairman Wontumi’ Antwi Boasiako was seen taking a bribe from Tiger Eye PI’s undercover journalists.
Although the aide has denied taking a bribe from the journalists, Anas took to his Facebook page to explain how Andy much charged them and linked them to Charles Cromwell Nanabanyin Onuawonto Bissue who resigned as the Secretary to the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining after he also appeared in the video allegedly taking a bribe as well.
“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 site”, Anas Aremeyaw Anas posted on his Facebook page.
Anas went on to reveal how much they paid Bissue as well as the location where the payments were done.
“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)”, he revealed.
