Investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, who has drawn controversy, has some important questions to answer, according to ace broadcaster Elizabeth Ohene.
She claimed that the Galamsey Economy Video he broadcast on Monday at the Accra International Conference Center AICC had raised certain troubling issues and questions that made this essential.
The name Galamsey implied that the subject of the movie was illegal mining, but that was not the case, according to the former Information Minister and Broadcaster.
She also questioned the timing of the set-up video’s publication, which was delayed by more than 4 years from its February 2018 recording to November 2022.
Below Are Her Words:
I was looking for the definitive exposé that will stop the speculation and leave the authorities with no choice but to move decisively on the problem.
It turns out I was wrong and the person that was in the crosshairs of the Anas treatment this time was Charles Adu Boahen, Minister of State at the Ministry of Finance. It is not clear if our intrepid underground investigator was playing on the nickname, GALANSEY, that Mr Adu Boahen has been known and called by his mates since his childhood days.
I believe Anas Aremeyaw Anas and his team owe us some explanations.
If, as it turns out, this incident with Charles Adu Boahen was filmed back in 2018, why have they kept it under wraps all this while and why have they chosen this time, November 2022, almost five years later, to release it?
If, in their judgement, they saw what transpired in that hotel room in the United Arab Emirates as so reprehensible, why have they kept it for almost five years?
They have looked on while Charles Adu Boahen served a full term as Deputy Minister of Finance in the first Akufo-Addo government.
They looked on while Charles Adu Boahen was nominated by the re-elected President Akufo-Addo as a Minister of State and vetted by Parliament and sworn into office.
