The Police CID which investigated allegations of corruption against the secretary of the Inter-ministerial Committee on illegal mining Charles Bissue has cleared him of any wrong doing.
“Mr. Bissue was not found to be culpable of any offense, a parallel investigation by the office of Special Prosecutor is however still ongoing,” the Graphic quoted the police report as saying.
The report also reportedly cleared all individuals captured in the Anas video taking bribes.
Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah however told Morning Starr host Francis Abban Monday that government is yet to receive a copy of the police report on the investigations.
Undercover journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas in a 14-day investigation into the activities of the Committee had Bissue compromising his integrity having accepted cash to facilitate the issuance of license among others.
Other security officers were also caught on tape receiving bribes to allow illegal miners to operate contrary to their core mandate to stop galamsey.
A day after premiering the documentary dubbed: “Galamsey Fraud”, Mr. Bissue had informed the president Nana Akufo-Addo of his decision to step aside to allow investigations into the case.
However, he maintained he is innocent of allegations of bribery against him.
