The Vice-President, has called for the dismissal of the Minister of State at Finance Ministry, Charles Adu Boahen, if it confirmed that had used his “name, inter alia, to peddle influence and collect money from supposed investors”.
Ace journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas is premiering another explosive video on corruption and is said to have captured Mr. Adu Boahen on tape speaking with undercover journalist in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) who had posed as Arabian businessmen interested in investing in Ghana, and wanted him to be their conduit.
Mr. Adu Boahen, is reported to have expressed his willingness to help including linking the supposed businessmen to both the President, Nana Akufo-Addo and the Vice-President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
In the case of Dr. Bawumia, Mr. Adu Boahen, said he could be paid US$200,000, as “Appearance Fee” as well as business slots for his many siblings if the fictional US$500 million deal business is successfully established.
But taking to his Facebook, today, Monday, November 14, 2022, the Vice-President, who sounded very angry wrote “My attention has been drawn to a video by Anas Aremeyaw Anas (as posted on his social media handle) showing the Minister of State for Finance, Mr. Charles Adu Boahen, apparently using my name, inter alia, to peddle influence and collect money from supposed investors.
“I would like to state that if what the minister is alleged to have said is accurately captured in the video, then his position as a minister of state is untenable.
“He should be dismissed summarily and investigated.
“I am not aware of any such meeting held by Minister Adu Boahen or a supposed “appearance fee”.
“My most cherished asset in life is my integrity and I will not allow anyone to use my name to engage in corrupt activities.
The said video premiers later today at the Accra International Conference Centre.
