I Will Resign If Found Guilty - IMCIM Secretary

Embattled Secretary to the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Mining and Environment (IMCIM), Mr. Charles Onua Wontor Bissue, has indicated his resolve to sacrifice his job and should he be found guilty of the various offences captured in the latest exposé by ace investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, leader of the Tiger Eye PI group.

He has thus challenged Anas to produce the unedited tape of his undercover exposé on the alleged galamsey scandal.

"I have subjected myself to the laws of Ghana and since no one is above the law, I urge Tiger Eye PI and Anas Aremeyaw Anas to provide the CID with the ‘raw unedited footages’, so that the good people of Ghana can have the benefit of knowing the truth," he stated.

Speaking in an interview with Kwame Nkrumah Tikese on Okay fm's "Ade Akye Abia" programme, he expressed surprised that Anas has not till date, submitted the unedited tape as demanded by government.

Breaking his silence for the first time since the said video was released by the Tiger eye PI team, he stressed that he wants Anas, government and the entire nation to use his case as a case study. 

"I reiterate that, in the course of my duty as the Secretary to the IMCIM, I have never received any money as consideration to render a service as a public officer."

"I have also noted with considerable interest, the many well-wishing messages and solidarity demonstrated by friends and acquaintances from all walks of life who believe in my integrity and can attest to my values and principles."

"Irrespective of my position and the work i have done so far for the inter-ministerial committee on mining and environment, i will resign if am found guilty of any charge that will be leveled against me in raw unedited video of Anas's expose," he added.
