The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has released a fresh statement in relation to the ongoing investigation into suspected corruption and corruption-related offenses involving Cecilia Abena Dapaah, the former Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources.

The investigation centers on substantial sums of cash that were reportedly stolen from Ms. Dapaah's residence.

The OSP initiated the investigation on Thursday, July 20, 2023, and has since made significant progress, including the apprehension of Ms. Dapaah and searches conducted at two residential properties linked to her.

Due to recent developments and 'new revelations' discovered during the ongoing investigation, the OSP deemed it necessary to provide an updated statement to keep the public informed.

The OSP emphasized that the public will be briefed on the outcome of the investigation once it is concluded.

"On Thursday 20 July 2023, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) commenced investigation into suspected corruption and corruption related offences involving the former Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources, Cecilia Abena Dapaah in respect of large cash sums reportedly stolen from her house.
