Accra, Oct. 22, GNA- An Accra High Court has adjourned the trial involving Mr Charles Bissue, a former Secretary to the disbanded Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining, and two others to October 29, 2025.
The adjournment is to enable the prosecution to move its application seeking an in-camera hearing for the testimony of its first witness, an undercover investigative journalist.
Mr Bissue and two others are standing trial for allegedly receiving bribes and illicit gifts to unlawfully fast-track the issuance of a mining concession sticker for an unlicensed company.
They face six counts of using public office for profit and three counts of alleged corruption by a public officer.
The Court had also directed that the full trial will commence on January 12, 2026, and continue throughout January 2026.
