Fresh revelations continue to surface daily amidst the controversy surrounding the misappropriated funds stolen from the residence of former Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, Cecilia Dapaah.
Official court documents, which earlier surfaced revealed substantial sums of money, encompassing both local and foreign currencies, which were discovered at properties linked to the embattled former minister.
These properties, situated in Cantonments, Abelemkpe, and Tesano, underwent a thorough search.
At the Abelemkpe location, where reportedly $1 million USD, £300,000 GBP, as well as valuable items like Kente fabric and jewelry belonging to the ex-minister and her spouse were allegedly stolen, further funds have been uncovered by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).
The documentation discloses that an additional $590,000 USD in cash was found there, alongside a sum of GH¢2,730,000.
Meanwhile, JoyNews has obtained documents indicating the specific amounts of money detected in the former minister’s accounts at Prudential Bank and Société Générale Ghana.
The report states that $5 million USD and GH¢48 million were identified in Cecelia Dapaah’s Prudential Bank accounts.
Additionally, her Société Générale account held GH¢1 million in investments and ¢700,000 in cash.
In response, the OSP has frozen these bank accounts and has submitted an application to the High Court in Accra, seeking validation of its actions as stipulated by law.
