Kwakye – OSP must look into Cecilia Dapaah’s wealth’s origins
Dr. John Kwakye, the director of research at the Institute of Economic Affairs\ (IEA), has requested that the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) look into the source of Cecilia Dapaah’s riches. Dapaah was the previous minister of sanitation and water resources.
Dr. Kwakye stated that Madam Dapaah must also be examined by the OSP, just as a pick of the previous John Mahama administration, Victoria Hammah, paid the consequences for just imagining making $1 million in office.
“The OSP should look into Minister Cecilia Dapaah’s wealth and source of income. After all, Victoria Hammah paid a political price for just thinking about amassing $1 million while in office, Dr. Kwakye tweeted on Saturday, July 22, just 24 hours after Madam Cecilia Dapaah submitted her letter of resignation to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

The President accepting Cecilia Dapaah’s resignation implies that he thinks her behavior to be abhorrent, he continued. So instead of complimenting her, he ought to have chastised her. Additionally, the pertinent governmental agencies must look into how she acquired so much money.
She promised in her letter, “I intend to collaborate fully with all the governmental agencies to enable them fully establish the truth.
She continued, “I have no doubt that at the conclusion of the proceedings, it will be proved that I have behaved myself with integrity during my time in public service and that I will be completely exonerated from all the claims. Kwakye
According to reports, Madam Cecilia Dapaah kept $1 million, €300,000, and untold amounts of Ghanaian cedis at home.
Two house helpers are accused of stealing these funds, and they are presently on trial at an Accra Circuit Court.
She had before claimed that the facts and the public reports were inconsistent.
She claimed in her letter of resignation that the numbers in the public domain do not accurately reflect the information she and her husband provided in their statement to the police.
However, the former politician acknowledges that she recognizes the significance of such stories around a person of her standing.
Therefore, I’m stepping down because I don’t want the government to get preoccupied with the issue and impede its work at this vital time.
