Cecilia Dapaah’s case: “The public will be informed of the outcome of the investigation” -OSP promises Ghanaians
As it conducts its investigation, the Office of the Special Prosecutor has promised to update Ghanaians on its inquiries into the scandal involving monies stolen from the former Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources, Cecilia Abena Dapaah.
“The OSP continues to look into the matter. The public will be informed of the investigation’s findings when it is finished, along with any additional actions the Office may take,” the office stated in a tweet on July 26, 2023.
The OSP claims that it has taken a number of steps and actions, including detaining Ms. Dapaah and conducting searches at two of her connected residential properties.
After news of her two housekeepers’ court appearances for allegedly stealing $1 million, $300,000 in euros, millions of Ghanaian cedis, and other personal belongings from Ms. Dapaah and her husband’s home went viral, the OSP moved to investigate the former minister.
The Special Prosecutor subsequently detained Madam Dapaah, and the former minister’s two homes were searched. After that, bail was granted for her.
Following the scandal, Cecilia Dapaah submitted her resignation to the president over the weekend.
