Thomas Andy Owusu faces punishment for taking bribes during illegal mining deals. The court found him guilty Wednesday after he agreed to plead guilty under special prosecutor rules. Owusu worked as an aide to NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi-Boasiako. He helped people skip official steps to gain mining permits for cash payments.
