The investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas filed a conflict of interest case with the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), and that investigation has begun, according to the commission.
According to allegations that the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, and the recently ousted Minister of State at the Finance Ministry, Charles Adu Boahen, received benefits from loans and bonds that Ghana entered into, Anas' investigative firm, Tiger Eye P.I. has asked CHRAJ to look into these claims.
According to CHRAJ Commissioner Joseph Whittal, the Commission is evaluating the materials provided to it.
"The petition is supported by paperwork, documentary proof, and a pen drive that allegedly contains information from the Galamsey Economy exposé. Therefore, the Commission is now reviewing it and making an assessment in accordance with our regulations.

Given the allegations by the Minority that his company, Databank Limited, has benefited from transactions on government bond issuance, Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta denied being involved in a conflict of interest when he appeared before the ad hoc committee hearing a vote of censure against him.
The claims made by the proponents, according to Mr. Ofori-Atta, lack "weight for condemnation."
Charles Adu Boahen's Black Star Brokerage has also been included as one of the companies acting as financial advisors to government transactions.
