This Dr. Bawumia said when his attention was been drawn to a video in which the Minister of State is used his name, inter alia, to peddle influence and collect money from supposed investors.
In the video, which is an investigative piece by Tiger Eye P. I dubbed ‘Galamsey Economy‘, Mr. Boahen claimed the Vice President only needs a Two Hundred Thousand dollar ($200,000) token as an appearance fee before meeting with supposed businessmen.
Mr. Boahen in the exposé reportedly said that the Vice President would also demand some positions from an investor for his siblings to get his backing and influence in establishing a business in Ghana.
“You 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’s fine.
“He’s not really, he’s not really (like) that. All he needs is to worry about his campaign money in 2020,” Mr. Adu Boahen is alleged to have said.
Dr. Bawumia has however denied the allegations by the Minister of State.
“I 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. He should be dismissed summarily and investigated,” he said in a Facebook post.
