The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has denied disclosing or revealing any information or details in respect of the bank accounts of former Sanitation Minister, Cecilia Abena Dapaah, which are under a frozen order issued by the Special Prosecutor.
The OSP has, therefore, urged the public to disregard media accounts on purported bank balances reported to have been disclosed by the OSP.
The denial comes after reports indicated that the OSP had reportedly monitored a sum of $5 million entering her account over time, in addition to discovering GH¢48 million in one of the former minister’s bank accounts.
Additionally, the reports alleged another account of hers revealed investments totaling GH¢1 million and a cash balance of GH¢700,000.
Meanwhile, some $590,000 in cash, along with GHS2,730,000, have been found at the private residence of the embattled former Sanitation and Water Resources Minister.
The Office of the Special Prosecutor made the discovery in its search of the former minister’s Abelenkpe residence.
The OSP has seized the funds as evidence for the ongoing investigation into the source of her wealth.
The OSP has subsequently frozen the former Akufo-Addo appointee’s cedi and dollar accounts, pending further inquiries.
An Accra High Court is scheduled to rule on the freezing of Cecilia Dapaah’s accounts on Thursday, August 17.
Sources familiar with the story say the OSP is taking the investigation seriously.
