The High Court has once again rescheduled the hearing of the motion for confirmation of seizure & freezing orders and criminal case filed by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) against former Sanitation Minister, Cecilia Dapaah.

The motion will be heard on December 11, 2023, the OSP said in a post on X on Wednesday, November 29, 2023.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) on Monday, September 11, filed a motion at the High Court seeking confirmation of seizure and freezing orders of the financial assets of former Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, Cecilia Dapaah.

A hearing was slated for October 18, 2023 but was adjourned November 8. That was also adjourned to November 29. Per reports from GNA, the trial Judge, Justice Edward Twum, was on leave and the case had to be adjourned once again.

The Cedi and Dollar bank accounts belonging to the former minister were frozen by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) on August 9, but the High Court in Accra on August 31, overturned the decision.

The court ordered that funds seized from the former minister be returned to her within seven days and also directed the OSP to unfreeze Cecilia Dapaah’s accounts.

The OSP subsequently invoked its powers to retake custody of the money, days after the High Court asked the office to return the seized money.
