Ghana’s junior finance minister has been sacked because of corruption allegations against him linked to illegal gold mining.

President Nana Akufo-Addo has referred Charles Adu Boahen to Prosecutors.

A documentary alleged that Mr. Boahen had asked potential investors for $230,000 (£196,000) to give to the Vice President to ensure a deal went through.

There has been no word so far from the junior finance minister.

The country’s Vice-President said he was not aware of any meeting in which Mr. Boahen had used his name to peddle influence.
