The Office of the Special Prosecutor has granted the immediate past Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, bail in the sum of GHC5 million over allegations of corruption.

According to Asaase News sources, the former chairman of the inter-ministerial committee on illegal mining appeared before the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, three weeks ago for questioning over allegations of corruption.

 

 

Asaase News also gathered that, while Frimpong-Boateng made allegations against people over their roles in the fight against illegal mining, several allegations were also levelled against him.

Details of the case are yet to be made public.
