National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has voiced dissatisfaction with Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng regarding the handling of the case involving former Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, Cecilia Abena Dapaah.
Gyamfi criticised the decision to transfer the case to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) for investigation, arguing that the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) should have conducted its own inquiry into the money laundering allegations against Cecilia Dapaah.
In an interview with TV3, Gyamfi questioned the OSP’s choice not to include their findings in the docket presented to EOCO, describing it as a “missing link” in the investigation.
“He was whining and lamenting too much. You are a creation of law, exercise your powers and you are here singing ‘ankonam’.”
“Kissi Agyebeng announced that a search was being conducted but he couldn’t make the findings public. In referring Cecilia Dapaah to EOCO, he should have at least added the findings that he made through that search. He even told us he collaborated with the FBI, What were his findings? That is a missing link,” he stated.
Sammy Gyamfi accused the government of attempting to cover up the truth and avoid a thorough investigation into the allegations against Cecilia Dapaah.
“There is a grand conspiracy by the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia NPP government to cover up the truths and real facts of this Cecilia Dapaah case. This should be obvious to any objective bystander.”
“This government led by the President himself has acted in ways that show they are not interested in an investigation at all and you see, if they think that they are helping Madam Cecilia Dapaah in doing so, then they’re mistaken,” the communication officer stated.
In a letter dated Thursday, April 25, addressed to EOCO, Attorney General (A.G.) Godfred Yeboah Dame stated that there is no justification for EOCO to investigate Cecilia Dapaah.
The A.G. highlighted that the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) neglected to include their findings from the FBI in the docket submitted to EOCO, following their investigation into the financial transactions involving the former minister.
