Charles Bissue, Director of Operations for the Kennedy Agyapong presidential campaign, has expressed satisfaction that the corruption allegations against him are now before the court.

He described the move as the most appropriate course of action, particularly after what he says were unfair attacks and accusations.

Bissue noted that he is relieved the matter has finally reached the courts, especially after facing criticism from some members of his own political party.

He remains optimistic about being exonerated, insisting that he has not engaged in any wrongdoing.

In April, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) filed criminal charges against Bissue, a former presidential staffer and Secretary to the now-defunct Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM).

He faces multiple counts of corruption and abuse of public office for personal gain.

The OSP alleges that Bissue accepted a GH¢35,000 bribe from one Benjamin Adjapong to fast-track the renewal of an expired mining license for ORR Resources Limited, bypassing standard IMCIM procedures.

Responding to public concerns about his freedom, Bissue said, “I have no problem with the calls for my arrest. Mustapha Gbande, a presidential staffer, has expressed worry over why I am walking around and not arrested. That is an opinion he has expressed.

"He has the right to say what he said, but it may have been based on assumptions without facts. As a Ghanaian citizen, he has the right to comment. But the truth of the matter is that we have state institutions responsible for handling such issues.”

Bissue further revealed that he has been under investigation for nearly eight years by multiple agencies, including the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), and the OSP.

According to him, the police had previously cleared him of wrongdoing.

“I have also decided to avail myself for any probe by any institution,” he stated.

“I am even happy I am being prosecuted under the NDC [National Democratic Congress] government because I did not want the matter decided under the NPP [New Patriotic Party], where people would claim I influenced the outcome. I am hopeful that once this case is over and I am exonerated, people will acknowledge and accept the outcome.”
