Ghanaians on social media are expressing shock at news of how two househelps allegedly stole from the Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, Cecilia Dapaah.

According to an Accra High Court presiding over the case, the thefts happened between July and October last year.

Per the report made by The Chronicle newspaper, the items were stolen from the Abelemkpe residence of the Minister and her husband.

They included significant sums of monies as well as personal belongings of the Minister and her husband, Daniel Osei Kuffour.

The househelps —Patience and Sarah— are currently being charged with one count of conspiracy to commit a crime and five counts of stealing US$1 million, €300,000, and millions of Ghana cedis.

Three other individuals identified to be the father, the current and former boyfriends of one of the househelps have also been charged in connection with the thefts.

Though an unfortunate incident has occurred to the Minister, some Ghanaian Netizens also bewildered by the fact that such amounts were being kept in the house of the Minister.

"Bro, if you have $1million dollars in cash inside your house, then your bank accounts will be brazy. Ei!" one user tweeted.

"We took a loan from IMF"
"They introduced the E levy "
"They collapsed tollbooth"
"They told us there are no jobs"

Meanwhile, Cecilia Dapaah alone had $1M in her room, not her international and local banks. Investigate her ASAP! pic.twitter.com/2jQxJCQ4C3

Nana Addo’s Minister, Cecilia Dapaah kept more than 16,000,000 at home and the money has been stolen by her domestic workers.
While those who kept their monies at the bank are receiving haircut.
This is how karma will pay those who gang-rape this nation.

The minister Cecilia Dapaah has some explaining to do. How does she have 1 million Dollars plus 300 thousand Euros and millions of Ghana Cedis casually sitting at home at a given point in time? What work does she do aside being a Minister? Needs probing.

Questions and more questions from the Builsa South MP:

How did the Minister (Cecilia Dappaah) and her husband come by this quantum of money? Is their home a bank? We must all be interested in finding out the source of the money. https://t.co/ut7AlL3dfu

Oh! And don't forget the memes being generated from the situation.

Ghanaians : Madam ,do you have evidence that you made the $1 million dollars, €300,000 and millions of Cedis stolen from your house through non corruption related activities ?
