Charles Adu Boahen

The Office has concluded and closed investigation of a referral by the President and a complaint by a private investigation firm, Tiger Eye P.I. regarding allegations of corruption and corruption-related offences involving a former Minister of State at the Ministry of Finance, Mr. Charles Adu Boahen. The allegations were contained in an investigative documentary, titled Galamsey Economy published by a celebrated Ghanaian investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas and his associates operating under the corporate name of Tiger Eye P.I.

The investigation concluded that though the conduct of Mr. Adu Boahen amounts to trading in influence or influence peddling, which is closely associated with corruption, there was no actual criminal prohibition of his acts in respect of which the Office had a mandate to further act. The investigation may be re-opened should the circumstances and further facts so dictate.
