Former President and Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has vowed that his government will reopen investigations into alleged acts of corruption and graft involving former Sanitation Minister, Cecilia Dapaah.
According to the office of the Attorney General, the docket presented to EOCO only consists of the OSP’s letter transmitting the docket, the diary of action, statements taken in the course of the investigation, letters written by OSP to other institutions like the CID and Banks in the inquiry.
The Office of the Attorney General’s analyses of the docket also revealed that the OSP did not make any findings of corruption and Corruption-related offences against Cecilia Dapaah.
But in the view of the office of the Attorney General, the key to the charge of money laundering is gains obtained from criminal proceeds arising from unlawful activity.
However, in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday May 2, 2024, Mahama stated, “My government will reopen investigations into alleged acts of corruption and graft in the Cecilia Dapaah case.”
Mr. Mahama’s announcement is seen as a commitment to tackling corruption and ensuring accountability, a key campaign promise of the NDC.
The Cecilia Dapaah case involves allegations of corruption and money laundering, which sparked public outrage and calls for a thorough investigation.
With this announcement, Mr. Mahama’s government is poised to revisit the case and ensure that those involved are held accountable for their actions.
