Charles Adu Boahen, a former state minister in the finance ministry, has been exonerated of all charges of corruption by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).
“Adu Boahen’s actions are closely linked to corruption as they involve influence peddling or trading in influence, but there is no legal prohibition on them that the OSP is mandated to address further,” the OSP stated in a report.
On that reckoning, the Special Prosecutor directs the closure, at this time, of the investigation in respect of allegations of corruption and corruption-related offences involving Charles Adu Boahen contained in the investigative documentary titled Galamsey Economy published by Tiger Eye P.I. The investigation may be re-opened should the circumstances and further facts so dictate.”

The accusations made against Charles Adu Boahen in the Galamsey Economy exposé were the subject of an inquiry launched by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) sometime last year.
“The Office of the Special Prosecutor has promptly commenced investigations into the action of Charles Adu Boahen and any other implicated person contained in the investigative exposé Galamsey Economy,” said a statement released by the OSP on Tuesday, November 15, 2022.
On Monday (14 November 2022), President Akufo-Addo terminated the Adu Boahen’s appointment following reports of allegations set out in a documentary by the investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
“After being made aware of the allegations levelled against the minister in the exposé Galamsey Economy, the president spoke to Adu Boahen, after which he took the decision to terminate his appointment, and also to refer the matter to the Special Prosecutor for further investigations,” a statement from the Presidency said.
