Former Sanitation Minister, Cecilia Dapaah, has made an urgent plea for an expedited court hearing following actions by the Office of the Special Prosecutor, which resulted in the seizure of money from her residence and the freezing of her bank accounts, according to a report by citinewsroom.com.

Dapaah states that these measures have led to significant hardship, stress, and public embarrassment. In her formal request, she emphasises the critical nature of her situation, seeking a swifter legal intervention.

Her plea for urgency follows a previous High Court ruling where the court instructed the anti-corruption agency to release her funds and defreeze her bank accounts.

However, in a twist, the Office of the Special Prosecutor reinstated the freeze and re-seized her assets, leading to Dapaah's appeal for prompt resolution.

While the case was originally slated for October 18, following the submission of the confirmation application on September 11, Dapaah is making a case for the hearing to be advanced to October 11.

Dapaah also took the opportunity to counter allegations from the Office of the Special Prosecutor. They had asserted that she conducted real estate transactions under pseudonyms and that funds were still being channelled to her from her late brother's bank accounts.

In a formal affidavit, she responded to these claims, particularly opposing the re-seizure of the GH¢2.83 million and the sustained freezing of her accounts.

This legal tussle shines a spotlight on the operations of the anti-corruption agency and the ramifications for individuals under investigation.
