Charles Bissue has challenged the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to present the complete, unedited version of the 2019 “Galamsey Fraud” documentary in court as he prepares to contest charges of corruption and abuse of office.
The former Secretary to the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM) is one of two individuals facing prosecution over alleged involvement in illegal mining-related corruption, as uncovered in the exposé by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
Bissue described the prosecution as an opportunity to prove his innocence but stressed that transparency is key.
He insisted that the full footage, and not an edited version must be used as evidence to ensure a fair trial. “Ghanaians deserve access to the unvarnished truth,” he said.
He denied all wrongdoing, citing his adherence to legal and ethical standards during his time in office.
Bissue also suggested that the timing of the case under a new administration could help ensure impartiality.
The 2019 documentary triggered public uproar and renewed calls for stronger anti-corruption measures, especially in the fight against illegal mining.
He urged the public to allow the legal process to unfold without prejudgment.
