Minority Leader in Parliament, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson is calling for independent investigation into Sanitation Minister, Cecilia Dapaah and husband Daniel Osei Kuffuor’s alleged stolen $1million and three hundred thousands of Euros.
Two domestic staff of the couple are before the court for allegedly stealing $1million and 300,000 Euros in addition to other items.
A section of Ghanaians are calling for immediate removal of the Minister from officer over the development.
However, in a Facebook post the Minority leader stated that Ghanaians cannot overlook “such a serious development.”
According to him, the issue has the potential to undermine the principles of probity, accountability, and transparency in governance.
“Given the magnitude and gravity of this situation, it is essential that an immediate and impartial investigation be carried-out to ascertain the source and legitimacy of these funds,” he stated.
Below is the full statement by the Minority leader
Dear Friends,
Recent revelations have come to light regarding the discovery of an astonishing amount of money in the private residence of a Ghanaian Minister.
The sum in question amounts to $1 million, €300,000, and millions of Ghanaian Cedis.
We cannot overlook such a serious development that has the potential to undermine the very principles of probity, accountability, and transparency in our governance.
Given the magnitude and gravity of this situation, it is essential that an immediate and impartial investigation be carried-out to ascertain the source and legitimacy of these funds.
I strongly urge the concerned Minister to voluntarily step aside from her duties until the relevant state institutions have conducted a thorough and independent investigation into this matter.
The people of Ghana deserve nothing less than a government that serves their interests with honesty and dedication.
