Former President John Dramani Mahama has said ace investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas and his Tiger Eye PI team have never felt threatened in their line of duty than under the current  Akufo-Addo led government.

The newly elected flagbearer of the NDC called on President Akufo-Addo to “bring to book” officials at the presidency caught on camera “indulging in acts of malfeasance and receiving illicit monetary consideration” in the latest exposé on illegal small-scale mining (Galamsey) by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.

Mr Mahama’s post read: “The investigative exposé by Tiger Eye PI about officials at the Presidency aiding illegal small-scale mining, ‘galamsey’, in Ghana, is an example of what our President Nana Akufo-Addo described in the attached video as the Anas principle.

“Despite all the efforts by the NPP and the government apparatchiks to distract the nation's attention from the premiere of the video last week, the evidence still stares us in the face.

“The President should bring to book and sanction these people that we clearly see in the Anas video indulging in acts of malfeasance and receiving illicit monetary consideration.

“He should let his belief in the Anas principle show by taking action. Action speaks louder than words.

“And while you are at it, let me respectfully inform you, sir, that Anas and his team have never felt more persecuted and threatened for the work that they do, than under your administration.”
