Some close associates of former Sanitation Minister, Cecilia Abena Dapaah, are currently being questioned by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) regarding the stolen money case.

Per reports from JoyNews, these relatives were invited because Madam Dapaah claimed that some of the money belonged to them.

In response to this information, the OSP expanded its investigation to include the mentioned relatives to ascertain the truth.

Madam Dapaah, who had earlier spent time in OSP custody, is now on bail with surety.

The OSP had conducted searches at both her official residence in Cantonments and her private residence in Abelemkpe in connection to the alleged million-dollar cash theft by housekeepers, which ultimately led to her resignation.

During the search at her residence on Monday, significant findings were reportedly made by the investigators, although the details of the discovery have not been disclosed by the OSP.

Madam Dapaah has been requested to complete an income and property declaration form to enable the OSP to track any property she acquired and ascertain if it was obtained illegally.

Media reports have emerged, implicating two housemaids who worked for the Sanitation Minister and her husband at their home, for the theft of substantial sums of money and other items between July and October 2022.

The charges include the alleged theft of US$1 million, €300,000, and millions of Ghana cedis, as well as various valuables like clothing, handbags, perfumes, jewelry, kente cloth, and suits.

The allegations have resulted in public scrutiny and criticism of Cecilia Dapaah. However, she has contested the reported amounts stolen, citing "noticeable inconsistencies" in the discussions surrounding what she reported to the police.

Amidst the controversy and the ongoing investigations into the "stolen" cash, Cecilia Dapaah resigned from her position as Sanitation Minister in July 2022.
