The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) says it will soon release the outcome its investigation concerning Charles Bissiw, the former Secretary to the Inter-Ministerail Committee.
This was contained in its released half-year report on its activities in 2022.
The OSP stated that the release of the report is in pursuance of section 3(3) of the Office of the Special Prosecutor Act, 2017 (Act 959).
“The Office has concluded investigation into allegations of the use of public office for profit against Charles Bissue, during his tenure as Secretary to the erstwhile Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM), arising from an investigative documentary titled Galamsey Fraud Part I published by Tiger Eye P.I. and the investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas.”
“The Special Prosecutor or an authorised officer will issue directives and further action on the matter in due course.”
In October 2022, the OSP began an investigation into some public officials for alleged involvement in illegal mining.
Mr. Bissiw was one of the officials under investigation from the Lands Ministry, the Forestry Commission, and the now-disbanded Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM).
Mr. Bissiw later obtained an injunction against the Special Prosecutor in an Accra High Court.
