The court ruling in Cecilia Dapaah’s favor normal; expect nothing less from Akufo-Addo—Felix Kwakye

Former Deputy Information Minister under the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the John Dramani Mahama Administration, Felix Kwakye Ofosu has said the latest ruling of Cecilia Abena Dapaah's case by the court is expected.

According to Mr. Ofosu, as long as President Nana Akufo-Addo remains in power, nothing untoward will happen to his New Patriotic Party (NPP) members or appointees.

He said in a tweet, that the only way to hold the NPP accountable is by voting against them in the 2024 general elections.

“I am surprised people are surprised about the turn of events in the Cecilia Dapaah matter. As long as Akufo-Addo and his NPP remain in office, no NPP wrongdoer will ever be held to account. If you want them held to account, boot them out in 2024,” Felix Kwakye Ofosu stated.

An Accra High Court has ordered the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to return Cecilia Dapaah’s seized money to her within seven days.

The former Sanitation Minister found herself entangled in a legal dispute when her assets were seized by the OSP. However, the court has overturned this action, directing the OSP to return the confiscated funds to her.

The OSP is investigating Madam Dapaah for corruption and corruption-related offenses following the revelation that she was keeping more than $1 million in her house.

In the wake of the startling revelation of stolen funds by her domestic staff, the Office of the Special Prosecutor embarked on a comprehensive search of the minister’s residences, prompted by the staggering amounts that were reported stolen.

Meanwhile, Cecilia Dapaah has described the application of the special prosecutor to confirm a freeze and seizure order against her properties as an attempt to perpetuate the arbitrary exercise of power based on the misrepresentation of facts and the resultant media frenzy.

She asserts that the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) is infringing upon its own legal framework and is engaging in an arbitrary process driven solely by suspicion fueled by distorted representation.
