General Manager of Citi FM & Citi TV, Bernard Koku Avle, has taken a swipe at President Akufo-Addo over his acceptance letter in response to Madam Cecilia Dapaah's resignation as Sanitation and Water Resources Minister.

According to Mr Avle, the President appears to have a penchant for acquitting individuals accused of criminal offense while being investigated.

On July 23, 2023, Madam Dapaah announced her resignation owing to her involved in a theft case involving $1 million, €300,000, GH¢350,000, as well as jewellery and other valuables in her home at Akpelemkpe.

According to Madam Cecilia Dapaah, she decided to resign to "prevent this matterfrom becoming a preoccupation of government and a hindrance to the work of government at such a crucial time."

She also assured of her willingness to cooperate fully with all state agencies to enable them fully establish the facts.

Hours letter, the president issued a letter approving Madam Dapaah's resignation.

In the letter dated July 23, President Akufo-Addo said he was confident that the "integrity" "dear" Madam Dapaah exhibited "whilst in office, will be fully established.

This statement by the President, according to Mr Avle, continues to derail the justice system as individuals being investigated or yet to be investigated are paraded as blameless even before actually probing commences.

"It is not witch-hunting and the presidency should not write to exonerate her," he said.

He therefore entreated the president from intervening in sensitive matters.

"It’s not in his place. He should let institutions work," he added.

Meanwhile, Mr Avle has called for a probe into the wealth of Madam Cecilia Dapaah and Daniel Osei-Kuffour, her husband.

Currently, the Office of the Special Prosecutor is investigating Madam Dapaah over corruption and corruption-related offenses revolving around the alleged theft of significant amounts of money and valuable items from her residence in Accra.
