Number 12: When Greed and Corruption Become the Norm

The British Broadcasting Corporation provided technical support for the investigation and secured the right to show it to a global audience.

[3] The idea for the documentary was born when Anas was prompted by the action of certain football personalities in Ghana fingered in alleged corrupt acts.

Subsequent to watching the documentary, the President lodged an official complaint at the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service.

[6] This complaint was due to the fact that Kwasi Nyantakyi had mentioned the names of the president, his vice and others as people that had to be bribed in order to secure government contracts.

According to him, there had been a gentleman's agreement between the party of Anas's Tiger Eye P. I. and the BBC and the presidency on delaying any action to be taken to a day prior to the official public premier of the documentary.

He, however, said he understood why it was done and attributed it to social media allegations that the then yet-to-be released documentary had evidence of corruption at the seat of government.

They were GFA Executive Committee members Kweku Eyiah and John Frederick Mensah and Chief Protocol Officer at the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Diana Boateng.

[13][14][15][16] Prior to the screening of the investigative piece, certain people who believed they would be caught in corrupt deals used various means to deter its premiere.

The campaign became fierce forcing veteran journalist and mentor to Anas, Kweku Baako Jnr, to publicly defend his protégé.

In this piece, he tried to explain his point by stating that due to the ways and means used to acquire the contents of the investigative exposé, it cannot be accepted as a journalistic work.

[13] Number 12 was shown globally by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), which had collaborated with Anas in the making of the documentary.
