The spokesperson of Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has stated that the former Minister of State at the Finance Ministry, Charles Adu Boahen engaged in \u201cpolitical grandstanding\u201d and acted \u201cunprofessionally\u201d if allegations against him by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas are proven to be true.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the Eyewitness News<\/strong> on Monday, Gideon Boako said the Vice President will never engage in any act of corruption and was shocked by the allegations made against Mr Adu Boahen.<\/p>\n \u201cCharles is close to us, we are in the same party, but I must say that he is not close to the Vice President as I am. Charles is not somebody who you would say on day-to-day works with the Vice President or is his friend,\u201d Mr Boako told host Umaru Sanda Amadu.<\/p>\n He added, \u201cwe haven\u2019t checked the video, and we don\u2019t know exactly what he said, so I don\u2019t want to put the blame squarely on him now, but if what we have seen is anything to go by then I must say that he acted out of indiscretion, political grandstanding, he didn\u2019t display much of organisational maturity in whatever he said because I don\u2019t see why he had to say what he said and bring in the Vice President.\u201d<\/p>\n Mr Adu Boahen was on Monday sacked by President Nana Akufo-Addo after allegations that he demanded some monies to facilitate a meeting between undercover investigators disguised as investors and Dr Bawumia.<\/p>\n According to Tiger Eye PI investigations, Mr Boahen said Bawumia could be paid $200,000 as an appearance fee for investors.<\/p>\n This is in addition to positions offered to the Vice President\u2019s siblings.<\/p>\n The story was published in the New Crusading Guide ahead of the screening of the expos\u00e9 on illegal mining Monday evening.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The spokesperson of Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has stated that the former Minister of State at the Finance Ministry, Charles Adu Boahen engaged in \u201cpolitical grandstanding\u201d and acted \u201cunprofessionally\u201d if allegations against him by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas are proven to be true.
