A Former Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Alhaji Inusah Fuseini, has claimed ownership of the audiovisual recording device retrieved from the office of the current Minister, John Peter Amewu.
The device was discovered in the office of the Minister on Monday. It was retrieved by the National Security after they embarked on a routine screening exercise at the Ministry.
But the Public Relations Officer [PRO] at the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources has told NEAT FM’s morning show host Kwesi Aboagye that, a native of Israel detected the audiovisual recording device believed to have been secretly planted in the office of the Lands and Natural Resources Minister, John Peter Amewu.
According to Mr. Abraham Otabil, the Israeli [Name withheld] was at the Minister’s office to discuss security issues with him after he had raised concerns of threats in his fight against illegal mining, popularly known as ‘Galamsey’.
The set-up included a camera, a storage unit and another device suspected to be a transmitter.
Subsequent reports that emerged suggested that the device was planted by persons who were against the Minister's galamsey fight.
The Minister has been at the forefront of intense crusade against illegal mining, a source of livelihood to thousands of people in mining areas with powerful people both local and foreign behind their activities.
Security expert Dr. Kwesi Aning speaking on TV3’s 'News 360', Monday said the device may have been planted by persons against illegal mining.
“It is natural that those whose interest is being threatened by the state will also fight back,” he indicated.
However, the former Minister in an interview with Peace FM's morning show host, Kwami Sefa Kayi, Tuesday revealed that the device was for him.
According to him, it was a gift for him to protect himself as well as monitor what goes on in his office when he was the Lands and Natural Resources Minister.
However, the device was not installed.
“That was my personal property . . . it is for me; it was a gift but it was not installed and so it was not working . . . ," he said.
Asked why he didn't take it along when leaving office, he said "it was no longer important for me and so I decided to leave it behind".
Meanwhile, Alhaji Inusah Fuseini has urged current Ministers to install security cameras in their office so that "their security will not be compromised. It is very important".

HON INUSAH FESENI HAS DONE WELL BY OWING UP THE INSTALLATION OF THE DEVICE AT THE LNR OFFICE. IF HE HAD NOT DONE THAT,SOME INNOCENT STAFF IN HON. AMEWU'S OFFICE WOULD HAVE BEEN ACCUSED FALSELY AND SUBSEQUENTLY BE DISMISSED. AND THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST OF JOB FOR INNOCENT PEOPLE. AGAIN THE FACT THAT HE DID NOT INFORM HIS PREDECESSORS IS A BAD THING, BUT COULD BE FORGIVEN SINCE THE DEVICE WAS NOT FUNCTIONING HE DID NOT TAKE IT SO SERIOUS A THING, TO REMEMBER TO INFORM EVEN HIS OWN PARTY MAN WHO TOOK OVER FROM HIM.TO ERR IS HUMAN TO FORGIVE IS DIVINE.
oh Inusah shame on you
this man Inusah must be prosecuted without delay. clearly, this man needs authority to do what he he did. spying on your own people us just too bad. i suspect him for spying on Vickey Hammah.
He is some ***barred word*** lawyer who doesn't know the law. This atrocity shouldn't go without punishment.
Who are those low brains praising Innusah for telling the truth. He is a politician and knew very well that all fingers will point toward him as the BNI investigates. If he keeps quiet till he is found out the damage on his integrity would be irreparable. Thus as a means of controlling the damage, he quickly came out to display to the world that he had no ulterior motive. Truly his wicked trick has worked on some of you. If he was truly honest why didn't he mention it in his handing over notes but kept it as a secrete until now.
All these people call themselves educated and for that matter a lawyer. This is very serious! The BNI should deal with him; that is espionage.
he tells the truth and you want question him? Adwoa lied, Nana also lied non of them had the "mienu mienu" to tell the truth and they are there.
I salute you for telling the truth.
