Former minister Cecilia Dapaah has amended her charge sheet in the prosecution of the huge cash stolen from her residence. The amendment of the charge sheet follows revelations that new properties suspected to have been acquired with her stolen cash have been found. She has also assumed ownership of some stolen $800,000 that allegedly belonged to her late brother.
Police prosecuting the Cecilia Dapaah stolen cash scandal have updated the charge sheet to include four new houses, cars and other properties allegedly acquired with the former minister’s cash. In court on August 8, 2023, police also told the court that three new people have been included in the growing list of suspects in the matter but one person has been discharged.
Police say two new Honda Acura vehicles that are estimated to cost over GH¢600,000 Ghana cedis are among the new properties discovered.
Also, the four new houses that are in the name of the key suspects in the case add to the already existing houses and properties identified at Amrahian in Accra, Tamale in the Northern Region, among others.
Per the amended charge sheet, the latest charges comprised one charge of conspiracy, there are also five counts of stealing and eight counts of dishonestly receiving stolen cash.
Meanwhile, two of the suspects, Sarah Agyei and Christiana Achab said to be nursing mothers, have been granted a GH¢1 million bail to be justified by three sureties. The rest have been remanded in police custody.
