Former employees of Busyinternet Ghana Ltd who accused the Energy Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, of bribery and corruption have apologised.
The two, Andy Ankomah and Nicolas Bill Alexander, apologised to the minister in a letter dated June 20, 2023.
They had maligned the former Education Minister, Mr Prempeh and his successor through a series of publications on social media to the effect they had engaged in bribery and corruption in the process of awarding a contract to Busyinternet Ghana Limited during his time as Education Minister.

The two admitted to hiding behind the company’s official social media handles to allege the wrongdoings against the minister in the award of the said contract in 2019.
According to individuals, they believed falsely, that once they go the route of mentioning the names of responsible public officials involved in the contract, their management, against whom they have been pressing payment demands, will get into a panic mood and pay their outstanding salaries.
In the letter signed by the employees, they state, among others, that their allegations were not backed by facts but were only sordid attempts at getting their unpaid salaries paid.
“These were based on suspicions and not enough to consider the publication as 100% accurate,” they wrote.
The letter continued: “Hon. Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, former Education Minister was mentioned which was regrettable and as such it’s proper we offer an unqualified apology. We would also like to offer an apology to the Ministry of Education since the institution was mentioned in the publication and never meant to cause harm to their reputation.”
The duo said their approach was not politically motivated.
They further called on the Energy Minister to intervene in their salary payment matter by speaking to their management for them.
“Our emotions got the better of us in addressing the issue and will plead to your honourable office to broker a deal on our behalf to get our arrears paid”.
Meanwhile, the two further appealed to Dr. Opoku Prempeh to grant them audience for an in-person apology to be rendered.
The said malicious posts on social media, they say, have since been pulled down.
