Martin Amidu, the former Special Prosecutor has accused President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of sacrificing the former Minister of State for the Finance Ministry, Charles Adu Boahen who was caught in the exposé by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas titled 'Galamsey Economy'.
If the President was serious about his fight against
corruption, Adu Boahen would not have been promoted from Deputy Minister in the
first term to Minister of State during the second term of Nana Addo, Martin
Amidu hinted.
According to the former special Prosecutor, "The
President who was already under pressure from rebel members of his majority
caucus to remove Adu Boahen from office for the economic mess caused by the
President’s management of the country, chose to sacrifice him for political
expediency."

Amidu believes the reason why Adu Boahen was sacked was
something he did in 2018.
He indicated that "the alleged suspected corruption
offence for which Charles Adu Boahen's appointment was terminated on 14
November 2022 was committed on 8 February 2018 in his capacity as a Deputy
Minister for Finance under the 7th Parliament and government of the Fourth
Republic whose tenure ended on 6 January 2021."
"The suspected corruption on 8 February 2018 was known
to the government through Kennedy Agyapong who had obtained a copy of the
videotape and did not make a secrete of it to the government. Nonetheless, Adu
Boahen was paid his end-of-service benefits for his services to that
government," he added. [CHECK OUT THESE HIGH PAYING ONLINE JOBS]
He further alleged that the president had a copy of the
documentary by Anas but went ahead to nominate him for a role as a minister.
"The President nominated Charles Adu Boahen for
approval by Parliament as Minister of State in the Ministry of Finance under
the 8th Parliament and the government of the Fourth Republic in January
2021," Amidu stated. [DOWNLOAD THE LEADING VIDEO CONFERENCING APP FOR FREE]
Anas exposé
In the Anas exposé, Charles Adu Boahen alleged that Vice
President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia needs just $200,000 as an appearance fee and
some positions by an investor for his siblings to get his backing and influence
in establishing a business in Ghana.
Barely a few hours before the showing of his latest
undercover exposé, Anas in a post on his Facebook timeline stated that when his
Tiger Eye PI team met with the Minister of State in charge of Finance in the
United Arab Emirates, UAE, he stated, for the Vice President to avail himself
to the undercover investigators who posed as investors, he will need an appearance
fee of only $200,000 and also support their investment.
"You mean, like appearance fees and stuff? I mean he,
himself (the Vice President), if you give him some (USD) 200,000 or something
as a token, as thank you, appreciation, that's fine. He's not really, he's not
really (like) that. All he needs is to worry about his campaign money in
2020," Charles Adu Boahen said when he was asked how an investor can get
the attention of the Vice President.

He added that an investor must also consider opportunities for
the siblings of the Vice President for his full support, apart from the
$200,000 appearance fee token to him.
