According to Charles Bissue, during his role in the Inter-Ministerial Committee, he was so firm that he introduced systems that would make illegal mining unattractive to those who wanted to get involved with it.
Charles Bissue told Paul Adom Otchere about how he got implicated for allegedly taking bribes for galamsey favour. He explained that money was not for galamsey but some party reasons.
” I am not the kind of guy who would accept anything in the form of a bribe. I would not say that I am indispensable but we fought illegal mining strictly”.
“There was this guy that I sacked because he was letting down the fight against galamsey but he later gave some money to the Personal assistant by the name of Andy to be given to me. I was told it was Chairman Wontumi and later it was revealed that it was Anas”.
” Investigations later revealed how the guy that I sacked from my office planned the whole scandal at a popular hotel. The CCTV videos are available and he was caught doing that”.
“Interestingly, I was called by a so-called ‘anonymous’ who had a legal background asking me to pay some monies for the video to be covered up but my conscience would not be clear so I refused to pay that amount”
Many viewers have reacted to his explanation. Whilst some Ghanaians seem to believe him, others passed interesting remarks.
