The High Court has scheduled July 2, 2025, for the commencement of the trial involving Charles Bissue, the former Secretary of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM), who faces corruption-related charges tied to illegal mining activities.
At a recent Case Management Conference, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), which is prosecuting the case, confirmed that it had filed all required disclosures on May 28, 2025.
The filings include two witness statements-one accompanied by five exhibits and the other by 12-along with 63 additional documents.
Lawyers for the accused acknowledged receiving the documents and requested original copies, which the court confirmed had already been provided.
