- In connection with current inquiries into alleged corruption and crimes related to reports of money purportedly taken from their home, Daniel Osei Kuffour, the husband of former sanitation minister Cecilia Dapaah, has also been arrested.
- As the office of the special prosecutor moved its plea for confirmation of an order to freeze Cecilia Dapaah’s bank accounts and take around $590,000 and GHC 2,730,000 discovered at her Abelemkpe home, this new information was presented in court.
- Yet given that the allegedly tainted money was discovered in Cecilia Dapaah’s marital residence, the judge presiding over the case questioned why she is the only one under investigation.
- Head of Prosecutions at the Office of Special Prosecutor, Dr. Isidore Tufour, answered that Cecilia Dapaah’s husband had also been arrested. However, Cecilia Dapaah’s attorney pointed out that since her client is unaware of her husband’s alleged detention, this information is fresh to them.
- Cecilia Dapaah, in the meantime, has described the special prosecutor’s plea to confirm a freeze and seizure order against her properties as an effort to continue the arbitrary exercise of power based on false information and the ensuing media frenzy.
- All this came to light on Thursday 17th August, as attorneys representing the anti-corruption organization and the former sanitation minister argued before Justice Edward Twum on whether the orders for the properties’ seizure and freeze should be confirmed.
