Bissue allegedly facilitated for ORR Resource Enterprise, a company seeking to circumvent laid down processes to be given clearance for its mining operations.
The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service exonerated him but the Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu is still investigating the matter, Mr Bissue believes he will come out victorious.
He says the Anas documentary does not reflect the true picture of what transpired between him and the Tiger Eye PI team.
"First of all the police exonerated me, the Special Prosecutor is still investigating the matter, I pray for him to finish. I believe I am clean and what I will tell Ghanaians is I will be vindicated soon", he told Joy News.
In a letter to the President in March this year, Mr Bissue, who is also a Presidential Staffer, decided to step aside to avail himself for investigations after he had allegedly been accused by Anas Aremeyaw Anas’s Tiger Eye PI documentary on 'galamsey' fraud.
The documentary alleged that the secretary was involved in alleged shady deals to facilitate processes for ORR Resource Enterprise.

Andy Owusu, an alleged link man to Bissue, allegedly charged Anas’s team GH¢50,000 for the team to get to Bissue.
