Rockson Bukari, former Minister of State and Prime Minister, Osafo Maafo
The tape that provoked the resignation of Mr. Rockson Ayine Bukari as Minister of State in the office of the President in charge of Special Tasks can not be equated with the commentary of the Prime Minister Yaw Osafo-Marfo on the reasons why the State released the "galamsey queen" "Aisha Huang, according to lawyer Obiri Boahen, deputy general secretary of the ruling party, the new Patriotic Party (NPP), in power.
"Osafo-Maafo was dealing with international relations, if you like people outside of Ghana and Rockson Bukari's is corrupt," he said in an interview broadcast on MyNewGh.com. from the morning show Nhyira FM based in Kumasi.
According to the political lawyer and the lawyer, the people who demand the resignation of the Prime Minister misunderstand both situations; stating that Mr. Rockson Bukari resigned from his position contrary to rumors that he was fired.
"He is a traditional and mature man who does things alone," lawyer Obiri Boahen told the host of the political program "Kro Yimu Nsem" hosted by Aduanaba Kofi Asante Ennin.

According to a presidential statement, Bukari presented his letter of resignation to President Akufo-Addo on Monday, April 29, 2019.
According to his statement, his decision to resign was "in order not to allow the band to disrupt the government's attention to the execution of its mandate".
Rockson Bukari was filmed to try to prevent the Starr Fm correspondent in the Upper East region from publishing a damning article against a Chinese mining company while he was minister of the region.
Mr. Bukari tried to bribe the journalist with 5,000 GH ¢ in a brown envelope and a new motorcycle to prevent the publication of this story.
