Mr. Bissue recently left his position as secretary of the Interministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM) after an investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, aired a documentary in which he was allegedly taken to pay a bribe of 35,000 GHC to allow a mining company business during the ban of all small-scale mining activities in Ghana.
After the broadcast of the documentary, Mr. Bissue wrote: "I have read the contents of Tiger Eye PI's latest documentary, entitled" Galamsey Fraud. "I would like to state at once that I am innocent of the allegations against me in the documentary, since I was and did not commit any acts of corruption, criminality or reprehensible behavior. "
Meanwhile, Mr. Bissue confirmed Monday on his Facebook wall that he had responded to an invitation from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
"I have submitted to the laws of Ghana, and as no one is above the law, I urge Tiger Eye PI and Anas to provide the CID with unedited raw footage, so that the good people of Ghana can benefit knowing the truth, " he wrote.
On Tuesday, Mr. Bissue met with Kwami Sefa Kayi during an interview on Peace FM & # 39; s Program "Kokrokoo" and reaffirmed his innocence.
According to him, the money he received in the video came from the regional president of the new Patriotic Party (NPP) in power, Ashanti, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, better known as President Wontumi.
"I have not collected money from anyone in the line of duty and I will continue to insist on it. President Wontumi gave the money to his P.A (personal badistant) to give me. . . "
"I know I will prevail after that. . . I did not collect money, " he added.
Seeking redress
Mr. Bissue intends to go to court after the close of the investigation. He wants the court to determine on what basis a situation can be described as an act of corruption.
"I have submitted to the laws of Ghana (…) justice is rolling slowly and what I'm trying to do is to submit to an investigation when the conclusion of the investigation will be reached; go to court, " he told Kwami Sefa Kayi in response to a question as to why he would not sue the investigator for defamation.
Fear for the sick mother
When the video was broadcast, Charles Bissue feared that his mother would not hear the news because she could have a heart attack.
"My fear was for my mother; we took her off the radio (to prevent her from listening to the news) and later, I went to explain her and she understood because she had trained me well … my mother could have died of a heart attack » he lamented.
