Member of Parliament (MP) for Banda Constituency in the Bono Region has requested that the Office of the Special Prosecutor launch an immediate investigation into the millions of dollars and euros that are kept at the residence of the Sanitation Minister Cecilia Dapaah.

Without receiving a petition, according to Hon Ahmed, the OSP has the authority to intervene and look into the situation.

Following reports that significant sums of money were taken from their home, numerous Ghanaians are urging the Special Prosecutor to look into Cecilia Abena Dapaah, the Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources, and her husband, Daniel Osei Kuffour.

Following charges that their two housemaids stole US$1 million, €300,000, and millions of Ghanaian Cedis, calls for an investigation and prosecution have been made.

Ghanaians are left asking, “Why should such a large sum of money be stored in anyone’s home, and where does the money come from?

Hon Ahmed Ibrahim is also calling on the President to ask the Special Prosecutor to do what is required.

“But the calls on her, Madam Cecelia Dapaah for disclosure of those currencies as a public figure is apt, for her resignation or the President to axe her from his Government and also to ask the Special Prosecutor to do what is necessary as he did in the case of former Minister of State at the Ministry of Finance, Adu Boahene” Hon Ahmed posted on his social media handles.

The story is out there. The Ghanaian Public is right to ask questions about the source of this colossal amount of cash both in international and local currencies.

Cecilia Dapaah is a public figure. A Minister of State in charge of Sanitation and Water Resources in our Republic.

She receives her salaries, allowances, medicals, and security protection from the sweat and toil of the taxpayer. Therefore, it is appropriate and rational on the part of Ghanaians to ask all the relevant questions including calling on her to resign or be sacked by the President.

I am not passing any judgment on the substantive matter which is before a court of competent jurisdiction, where the accused persons are facing the court for stealing.

I am an adherent of the principles of natural justice: Fair hearing and not being a judge in one’s cause. That can be attributed to the persons facing the law.

But the calls on her, Madam Cecelia Dapaah for disclosure of those currencies as a public figure is apt, for her resignation or the President to axe her from his Government and also to ask the Special Prosecutor to do what is required as he did in the case of former Minister of State at the Ministry of Finance, Adu Boahene.
