OSP Releases Five Bank Accounts Under Scrutiny Belonging to Former Minister Cecilia Dapaah

October 16, 2023 — The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has taken steps in its investigation into suspected corruption and corruption-related offences involving Ms. Cecilia Abena Dapaah, a former Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources. The probe, initiated in July 2023, has seen notable progress.

In a letter dated October 16, Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyepong announced the release of five out of the numerous accounts under scrutiny belonging to Ms. Cecilia Dapaah. The OSP had earlier taken measures, including the issuance of a freezing order, to facilitate the investigation into large sums of money and valuable items.

The investigation has now cleared five of the bank accounts from suspicion of any wrongdoing, marking a significant turn in the case. While these accounts have been released, the freezing order remains in force for the other bank accounts and financial assets associated with Ms. Dapaah.

The move comes as a result of diligent investigative work by the OSP, which has been working rigorously to uncover the truth behind the alleged corruption. This development underlines the commitment of the OSP to upholding transparency and accountability in matters of public interest.

The release of these accounts will likely have a significant impact on the course of the investigation. It is expected that further details will emerge as the OSP continues its diligent work in this case. The Office of the Special Prosecutor remains dedicated to its mission of rooting out corruption and ensuring justice prevails.

As this investigation continues to unfold, the public will be closely watching for further updates on this high-profile case involving a former government official. The OSP’s efforts are crucial in maintaining trust and integrity in public institutions, and this latest development is a step forward in achieving that goal.
