The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) is under siege to investigate and possibly, prosecute the resigned Sanitation Minister, Cecilia Dapaah after a huge amount of cash was allegedly stolen from her home.

Social commentators and social media users have been calling on the OSP to take up the matter before it gets cold.

When asked if the calls had stopped coming through, a source at the OSP told Myjoyonline “they have not stopped coming” since the case became public last week.

While some are happy she has already resigned, many think the quoted amount, in excess of $1 million that she allegedly kept at home, is too much to be personal money she earned genuinely.

Madam Dapaah resigned from office at the weekend after she became the talk of town following publications that her two house helps were standing trial for allegedly stealing huge sums of foreign and local currencies from her residence in Accra.

In her resignation letter, she said she decided to step down because she did not want “this matter to become a preoccupation of government and a hindrance to the work of government at such a crucial time.”

The house helps, 18-year-old Patience Botwe and 30-year-old Sarah Agyei, along with three others allegedly stole $1 million, €300,000, and millions of Ghanaian cedis being the monies and personal effects of Abena Dapaah and her husband, between the months of July and October 2022.

However, Cecilia Dapaah says there are inaccuracies in the figures being reported in the media. That claim is however questionable since the media reports are exactly what is captured on the charge sheet.

President Akufo-Addo subsequently accepted her resignation, and affirmed the minister's integrity.

“I am confident, like you, that, at the end of the day, your integrity, whilst in office, will be fully established. I wish you the very best in all your endeavours.”

He also said, “It is with considerable regret that I accept your resignation, and I applaud your loyalty to the image and standing of the government.

“The work you undertook during your period in government was excellent and productive, and I thank you for your wholehearted contribution and devotion to the progress of the government and the nation,” he stated.
