Leader and flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has stated that his government, if elected into power, will surely delve into the Cecelia Dapaah alleged graft case.
Taking to his official X page, Mr. mahama wrote, "My government will reopen investigations into the alleged acts of corruption and graft in the Cecelia Dapaah case’’.
It is recalled that, two persons with names patience Botwe and Sarah Agyei, 18 and 30 respectively, were arrested and charged with five counts of stealing and conspiracy to commit crime by the court. It was said that, they allegedly stole monies to the tune of millions of Ghana cedis between the July and October 2022.
The reports gathered revealed that the said monies, which included foreign currencies were found in the bedroom of the former Sanitation minister who had reported the criminal case to the police for which the two ladies and other suspects were picked up.
Madam Cecelia Abena Dapaah has been subjected to rigorous investigation by the office of the Special Prosecutor who had placed an embargo on the latter’s account.
The OSP later referred the case to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) for a money laundering investigation. But the office of the Attorney General and Minister of Justice advised EOCO not to start the money laundering investigations leveled against the former Sanitation minister.
The Attorney General's reason for the advice revealed that, there was no evidence of financial gains to that effect, which the office believes is the basis for that investigation.
The A-G further added that the Criminal Investigation Department is investigating into the Criminal aspect of the case, thus, advising EOCO not to engage in any investigation to that effect.
In sequel to this, former President John Mahama noted that his President will not countenance any act of corruption, hence the NDC government will reopen the Cecelia Dapaah case to ensure that all corrupt officials are prosecuted.

They (NDC) made similar NOISES in 2008, but when they had power, they couldn't convict anyone but rather came to CREATE, LOOT & SHARE! EMPTY party. Mr. GO!?
MR MAHAMA STOP DISGRACING YOURSELF?WOULD YOU OPEN INVESTIGATION INTO MR OPUNI AND ATO FORSING DUMB
You said the same thig in 2008 that your were going to re-investigate the death of yaa naa a bring the culprits to book, and lo and hold you had the opportunity to rule this country but you failed woefully after you reopened the case. not even a single bird that flew over dagbon was brought to justice and your party supporters became angry at you. you even threatened the judges that there are soo many ways to kill a cat and you and your communicator have started peddling lies again just to win power. we want your policies not lies and propaganda. your only policy has fallen flat in your face and you even don't talk about it again.
You have to investigate the rotten Airbus scandal as well when you were referred to as Government Official One as well. Greedy cheap man.

Bawumia cannot talk about economy again. He is now a champion of digitisation and even that he has started with failure as Ghana pays some of the most expensive internet tariffs in the world, such a contradiction to the goal of digitisation. NPP are only good at lying, deceiving, and engaging in immeasurable amount of corruption. Majority of Ghanaians will not yield to their deception, your comedian Bawuliar will be disgraced massively. Your only chance was the noble Alan Keyeremanteng, even Kennedy would definitely performed much better in general elections than your con man who only bribe delegates to become flagbearer
When? DREAMING! Mahama has now become a Social Commentator! He has NO policy alternative to talk about, so he fishes for current information and talk about. What a opposition leader! EMPTY!
@KB, bribery is a crime in our laws, are suggesting that CHRAJ condoned a crime by allowing it to slip if they found that to be the case? At least, Mahama subjected himself or his appointees to investigation, those who were found culpable were imprisoned. However, your corrupt idols are also tyrants, they protect their own corruption and that of those in their cabal. The mother serpent of corruption is in NPP and he has now inflicted most people in the NPP with same, corrupted the most national institutions including the Judiciary and EC.We will see when they exit office.
@Bawumia. Mahama's case is being investigated by OSP otherwise I would have petitioned OSP. Ford case was handled by Commission of Administrative Justice and it is on record that he accepted the Ford car. A President with unlimited official cars would go so low. Aba... why can he ask the man to donate it to say Korle Bu Hospital but accept it?
The least we say the better. JDM is corrupt to the core and it is in his bones and blood. It cannot be cured hence no matter how much he says has changed will not change my mind. Once born corrupt is always corrupt. I hate corrupt people, period.
