The Office of the Special Prosecutor has opened up about the amount of money it found in embattled politician Cecilia Dapaah’s frozen bank accounts.

According to the OSP, $5 million was found in Madam Dapaah’s Prudential Bank accounts.

It also found one million cedis in investments and cash amounting to one million cedis in her Societe General account.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor further found $590,000 during the search of her Abelemkpe residence.

A total of $2,730,000 in cash was discovered at the same location.

Madam Dapaah is currently under investigation for corruption and corruption-related offences following the revelation that she was keeping more than $1 million in her house.

In July 2023, when the Chronicle Newspaper reported that Madam Dapaah’s house helps had been sued for allegedly stealing $1 million, $300,000 euros, several millions of cedis, and personal belongings of the former minister and her husband, Daniel Osei Kufuor valued at thousands of Ghana Cedis and dollars, the domestic helpers became the talk of the town.

Following a widespread outcry, Cecilia Dapaah resigned from her post.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor detained her, and she was eventually released on bond.

Subsequently, officials from the Office of the Special Prosecutor searched the home of the former Minister of Sanitation.

“At 11:55 GMT on 24 July 2023, Cecilia Abena Dapaah, who resigned from the position of Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources on 22 July 2023, was placed under arrest by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) in respect of suspected corruption and corruption-related offences regarding large amounts of money and other valuable items reportedly stolen from her residence,” the OSP disclosed in a statement on Monday, July 24.
