- Charles Bissue, a former secretary to the Interministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM), has been marked for arrest by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) after declining an invitation.
- The invitation is connected to an ongoing inquiry into allegations of wrongdoing inside the disbanded IMCIM.
- His refusal to accept the invitation is seen by the Office of the Special Prosecutor as a serious hindrance to the investigation, and as a result, he has been made wanted.
- Mr. Bissue declined to accept the Special Prosecutor’s invitation after recently filing a writ at the High Court in Accra to stop the OSP from pursuing him.
- The investigation’s primary emphasis is on alleged corruption and crimes related to corruption, particularly with regard to the administration of excavators, machinery, road vehicles, gold nuggets, and the exploitation of public office for financial gain.
