The Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has called for the immediate sacking of the Minister of State at the Finance Ministry, Charles Adu Boahen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dr Bawumia\u2019s call is over Anas Aremeyaw Anas\u2019 allegation against the Minister in his yet to be aired document dubbed \u201cGalamsey Economy.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the said documentary, Mr Adu Boahen is said to have told the undercover investigators that Bawumia needs just $200,000 tokens as an appearance fee before meeting with supposed businessmen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The embattled Minister is also reported to have said that the Vice President would demand some positions from an investor for his siblings to get his backing and influence in establishing a business in Ghana.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou mean, like appearance fees and stuff? I mean he, himself (the Vice President), if you give him some (USD) 200,000 or something as a token, as thank you, appreciation, that\u2019s fine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He\u2019s not really, he\u2019s not really (like) that. All he needs is to worry about his campaign money in 2020,\u201d Charles Adu Boahen is alleged to have said.<\/p>\n
However, Dr Bawumia in a Facebook post today denied the allegations and called for the sacking of the Minister.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy attention has been drawn to a video by Anas Aremeyaw Anas (as posted on his social media handle) showing the Minister of State for Finance, Mr Charles Adu Boahen, apparently using my name, inter alia, to peddle influence and collect money from supposed investors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe should be dismissed summarily and investigated,\u201d he insisted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
