"This is collateral damage to the NPP..." Bernard Allotey Jacobs, a social commentator, has joined the conversation about the theft of millions of foreign currencies and other items from the home of former Sanitation Minister, Cecilia Dapaah.
Two house helps and others are standing trial for allegedly stealing $1 million, €300,000 and millions of cedis from the Ablekuma residence of the former Sanitation Minister.
The two house helps, Patience Botwe (18) and Sarah Agyei (30), were previously charged with conspiracy to commit a crime and five counts of stealing, following the alleged incidents between July and October 2022.
During this period, items including assorted clothes worth GHC95,000, handbags, perfumes, and jewelry valued at $95,000 were said to have been stolen from the former Minister's residence in the Abelemkpe area of Accra. Patience Botwe was also accused of stealing six sets of kente cloth worth GHC90,000 and six sets of men's suits valued at $3,000, which belonged to Ms. Dapaah's husband. Furthermore, three other individuals, including Botwe's current and former boyfriends and her father, are also facing charges for allegedly being involved in dishonestly receiving GHC1 million, GHC180,000, and GHC50,000, respectively.
A stab in the back
Allotey Jacobs suggests the monies would not have been stolen if she had taken it to the bank; insisting "It is the fault of Cecilia Dapaah".
During a panel discussion on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', Allotey Jacobs expressed his disappointment that the former Minister has provided ammunition to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in their fight against the ruling government, especially as the country approaches the 2024 elections.
". . I won't be nice to her; this is collateral damage to the NPP...because of what happened in 2015/2016; 'Woyome Woyome'. The opposition has picked it up and playing the same music back to you (NPP). The husband should have been the sole complainer. You know what is happening in this country where the opposition has vowed to use every propaganda means to win the election, you've (Cecilia) given them the knife to stab your party in the back," he fired.

ARISE AND BE COUNTED ARISE AND RESCUE MOTHER GHANA
A very big and sharp knife. For me, my disappointment is not in our current economic mess but in a man majority of Ghanaian's had so much belief and respect for. If not for Ghana, he should have done something for the sake of the trust many Ghanaians had in him. Unfortunately for him he has squandered a golden opportunity to have made history not only for himself but to his immediate family and extension his lineage. As to why politicians keep doing this to mother Ghana is mind boggling, what have the good people of Ghana done to deserve this treatment. People sacrifice their sleep and work to wake to go and queue for long hours to vote for you with the hope that no child will sit under trees to learn, with the hope that no child will lie like a lizard on the floor in school to learn, with the hope that the required text books will be made available in schools, with the hope that no patient will be made to sit on a plastic chair to receive drips due to lack of beds in our hospitals, with the hope that people in rural Ghana will not go to compete with cattle and pigs in the community dug out due to lack of potable water, with the hope that jobs will be made available for the teeming unemployed youth, with the hope that life will be a bit comfortable for them to live a dignified life only for the very people they have so much confidence in to come and bring mother Ghana on it's knees. 69 year old woman with only one child, what do you need all these monies for. I doubt whether such cash can be found in the bedroom of Alico Dangote, Africa's richest man. With these happenings can any Ghanaian leader look in the face of our development partners and ask for support ? At times one wonders whether politicians in Ghana have conscience, whether they have fellow feelings in them, whether they see the struggles the ordinary Ghanaian is going through, whether they have the belief that they will be woken up by their creator when they die and asked to account for all that they took from the people. Its only people who have a heart of stone who will grab what belongs to all and nothing pricks thier brain. It's sad.
This man and kokou anyidoho are the cheapest politicians in this country. They don't have any conscience nor bearing. When WOYOME took 50 million there was a general uproar started and fanned by the NPP. My only regret is the weakness of the NDC in exposing the real armed robbers.
Is this new among our politicians and other people when they get money? Ask Mahama where (from which bank) he withdrew the money he gave to all delegates as T&T . Calculations brought it to over GHc14m which is more that $1m then!
What at all is wrong with Allotey Jacobs? Is he still a member of NDC or he is sacked/suspended?
Mr ALLOTEY is right,she should have let her husband complained,knowing the kind of toxic atmosphere we see ourslves...
