Indexing government scandals one at a time
A minister of state at the presidency, Rockson Ayine Bukari, has been caught on tape in a frantic and desperate effort to prevent a journalist from publishing a damning story against a Chinese mining company when he was heading the Upper East region.
Daily Mail GH has chanced on a tape implicating Mr. Bukari in a coordinated plan by people in high places to drop an undercover report carried out by a Starr FM journalist Edward Adeti, involving a judge in the Upper East region.
In the recorded telephone conversation, the former Upper East regional minister was heard pleading heaven and earth with the reporter to shred the story.
“The Shaanxi people we supported them all along. You know they are not reliable. Their hands are too hard. Don’t publish that story, because that judge [Justice Jacob B. Boon] is a very good friend of mine. When I was a registrar of the House they were all with me. Ambrose Dery, he Kolendi and then Avoka and others I gave them an office at the House of chiefs.
“I beg you. In this world, it is a small world. I beg you. Talk to them. Monday I’ll let them get something for you. I beg you. I’m kneeling down and begging you. Don’t publish it. I beg you. I won’t disappoint you. If I were to be there with you it won’t be a problem but now I’m not there. I told them their hands are too hard and that is not good,” Mr. Bukari cajoled the reporter.
