The latest court documents filed by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) reveal that a bank account belonging to the deceased brother of Cecilia Dapaah has been actively sending money to the former Sanitation Minister.
This is the latest in an attempt by the Office to confirm the seizure of suspected tainted properties belonging to Madam Dapaah.
Not long ago, the OSP seized millions of cash from the former Minister and ordered the freezing of some bank accounts with over ¢40 million transactions.
An Accra High Court refused to confirm the seizures and freezing order and directed the OSP to return the amounts to Cecilia Dapaah.
The Special Prosecutor complied but is back in court seeking to get the seizure confirmed.
Exclusive copies of documents secured by JoyNews and filed in court by the Office of the Special Prosecutor reveal that the former Minister allegedly has millions of cedis which the OSP says she could not prove the source.
The filing also includes fresh allegations that an account belonging to the dead brother of the former Minister was still sending money to Cecilia Dapaah’s accounts.
“Analysis of the statements in the first respondent’s (Cecilia Dapaah) bank account revealed highly suspicious transactions involving the name of the first respondent’s deceased brother – Nana Akwasi Essan.
“The said Nana Akwasi Essan died in January 2022 and there is no record domiciled at the financial institutions of probate or letters of administration granted to personal representatives).
“Strangely, there are active transfers from the deceased person’s bank account to that of the first respondent’s account”, the filing alleges.
The OSP continue to allege that “as recently as September 19, 2022, and May 23, amounts of ¢10,450 and ¢11,280 respectively were transferred, supposedly by the deceased brother to the first respondent (Cecilia Dapaah).”
The High Court will hear the case on October 18, 2023, as the Special Prosecutor makes another attempt to have the seized amount of money and the freezing of the Bank accounts confirmed.

It’s good that the mandated authorities are thoroughly investigating and prosecuting the accused. This is how it is supposed to be. Let’s give the state institutions the chance to do their job without any propaganda and political interferences. The unnecessary propaganda from the media and the political parties nearly killed the story like the rest.
We NPP are happy she is stealing our money and there is nothing wrong with this. So far as she is an NPP member we don't care. madam di sika no wae obia ntimi ny3 wo wheeee
Sometimes we blindly question why God withholds certain 'blessings' from people. Cecelia Dapaaah has only one child and look at the amount of money she has allegedly stolen. To take care of just one child? What at all do these greedy politicians want in life? And on Sunday they go to church and sit on front pews and presenting themselves as role models? Look at the state of the country. Look at the schools Ghanaian children attend. Why do public officials who are given the responsibility of managing our meagre resources of for the benefit of all, misappropriate everything to themselves and their families? You are destroying your own country to gain what? You steal from your poor people to build and buy mansions abroad and when you die those properties are consfiscated to these states. How many western leaders have houses in Ghana here? They have committed to building their countries and making them nice because no one will do it for them. And tsupid Ghanaians keep voting for these thieeefs. why?
