Charles Bissue, the former secretary of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM), has been fined GH¢500 by the Human Rights Court for allegedly failing to act in his case to prevent the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) from looking into and prosecuting him.

In June, Charles Bissue filed a writ at the Accra High Court, requesting that the Office of the Special Prosecutor refrain from bringing charges against him.

Charles Bissue was the subject of OSP investigations because of his suspected involvement in corrupt practices and associated activities while serving as the IMCIM secretary.

Charles Bissue V OSP ( Civil case 2)

The Human Rights Court (1) has awarded a cost of 500 cedis against Charles Bissue due to his failure to make a decision regarding whether to proceed with the case or withdraw it.

Mr. Bissue is before the Human Rights Court seeking an injunction against the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) from investigating and prosecuting him. He insists that investigative journalist Anas Anas should also be investigated and prosecuted for allegedly offering him a bribe, as depicted in the undercover documentary titled ‘Galamsey Fraud Part 1.’

The case has been adjourned to 15 November 2023, to allow Mr. Bissue to formally withdraw his lawsuit.
