Vice President Dr Mahumudu Bawumia,has welcomed the President’s decision to sack Charles Adu Boahen as Minister of State at the Finance Ministry.
In a Facebook post on Monday, November 14, 2022, the Vice President said,” I would like to state that if what the Minister is alleged to have said is accurately captured in the video, then his position as a minister of state is untenable. He should be dismissed summarily and investigated.”
“My most cherished asset in life is my integrity and I will not allow anyone to use my name to engage in corrupt activities,” he added.
Mr Adu-Boahen’s position as the Minister of State at the Finance Ministry was terminated by the Presidency on Monday, November 14.
In a statement issued by the Presidency on Monday, Director of Communications at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin, noted the dismissal of Mr Adu-Boahen was due to his involvement in illegal small scale mining (galamsey) as revealed in a yet-to-be-aired exposé by investigative journalist, Anas Amereyaw Anas.
