Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako, says Anas Aremeyaw Anas and his TigerEye PI team have no qualms presenting the raw footage of its latest exposé on galamsey to government.
The well acclaimed investigative journalist has released a new investigative piece dubbed: "Galamsey Fraud Part 1"
This exposé uncovers top government appointees and security personnel who are supposed to help in the fight against Galamsey, "stabbing President Akufo-Addo in the back" and encouraging the practice, which has resulted in the destruction of several water bodies in the country.
Minister of Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, touching on the release of the galamsey video, said "government will have the said tapes properly investigated using the raw unedited footage,” adding that the Akufo-Addo led administration appreciates every effort in helping the administration succeed.
....“government has taken notice of a documentary by Tiger Eye PI suggesting that it has uncovered acts that undermine the fight against illegal small scale mining. Government will have the said tapes properly investigated using the raw unedited footage and if any person is found to have solicited money or taken bribe to bend rules, the necessary actions will be taken,” he stated.
Speaking to this in an interview on Citi Eyewitness News, Thursday, Kweku Baako said: "In principle, I have nothing against the government requesting for the raw footage; it is not an unusual request…it is nothing unusual. I am sure Tiger Eye and Anas will oblige them…I think even the edited version; there is enough material that could trigger some government action."
According to him, "it has happened on many occasions. When the judges’ matter came up, in filing the petition to the President as well as the Chief Justice, the full footage, the unedited version was given to the appropriate judicial authorities as part of their investigations of the judges that were implicated.”

NOW THE GOOD PEOPLE OF GHANA WILL SEE HW KENNY TALK IM NOT SUPPORT THE I DEAR OF CORRUPT BT HW ANAS DOING HIS THINGS TOTALLY FRAUDULENTS SECOND KWAKU BAAKO WILL LOST HIS CLEDIT OF HIS WORK
Did they demand raw footage to take action on the judicial corruption? What happens on the sunny day must also happen on the rainy day...
In my humble opinion, Anas is gradually losing credibility, as his activities/investigations seem blackmailing. Mr. Bako should be careful Anas does not soil his good name in the process.
THE FIRST TIME,I HEARD SAY THAT,HE AND ANAS ARE INTO PARTNERSHIP,AND THAT HE OWNS 60% AND ANAS 40%.I REALIZED,THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH WHAT ANAS WAS DOING.HE ANAS WAS DEPENDING ON KWEKU BAAKO TO PROTECT HIM,WHILES ANAS BRINGS THE GOLDEN EGGS.BUT KWEKU SHOULDNT BE WORRIED ABOUT THE GOVERNMENTS REQUISITION OF AN UNEDITED TAPE.HE SHOULD UNDERSTAND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLES LIFES HERE,AND PEOPLES REPUTATION.YOU CANT PRODUCE CUT AND PASTE TAPE,AND EXPECT THE GOVERNMENT TO SACK PEOPLE.REMEMBER THEY HAVE FAMILIES AND DEPENDANTS.AND ALSO YOU CANT GIVE SOMEONE A GIFT AND THEN END UP SAYING IT WAS A BRIBE.SO THE FULL UNEDITED TAPE WILL GIVE THE GOVERNMENT A CLEAR VIEW,AND TAKE THE CORRECT DECISION.
now Ghanaians have realized how Anas and his team blackmail and extort money from his victims. anyway in the video there are two culprits, the giver and the taker. there's no way one of them will be pardoned in case the evidence points to bribery and corruption. now I am very careful about the kind of journalists I listen to and to put my trust in them.
Since, when did Kweku Baako become a memeber of Tiger Eye Pi or their spokesman? Hmmmmm. The era when government and the people of Ghana took everything Anas presented as the whole truth is fast gone. The impact of Ken Agyepong's relentless unconventional quest to expose Anas's corrupt side has erased Anas' stock. There are two sides to every story.
Well they need to because we can't trust Anas now and Kweku I really respect you but you've allowed yourself to be used be this boy Anas giving you bad name.
WHERE IS THE PARLIAMENT UNDER COVER EXPOSE. DID MAHAMA BRIBED HIM TO COVER IT. GOD IS WATCHING US ALL.
That is how you govern. Obtain the basis and develop comprehensive approach in dealing with it instead of criminals using the journalism tag to obtain information and blackmailing others ultimately to seems to get access to influential quarters to their own selfish interest. I will also recommend government to investigate Ken's Galamasey video on Anas and Baako to ascertain how the duo partnered a Canadian company to cause such massive environmental disaster at reserve forest(turning it into a desert like) while they are walking free and pointing their dirty fingers at equally dubious persons. In light of all of this, it seems our security agencies are not working at all. Should it take Ken to provide such damning land destruction evidence, whiles all other institutions mandated to secure those sites are taking salaries and conniving with criminals. I have not lost hope in Ghanaians and will never loose it, but each one of us have a duty to deal with this criminals to save our future.
Infact i will question God if I find politician in Heaven, especially ghanaian politician
