In response to reports of a theft incident at the home of Cecilia Abena Dapaah, the Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, and her husband, Daniel Osei Kuffour, in Abelemkpe, Accra, former president John Dramani Mahama has issued a statement.
Mr. Mahama tweeted his shock, writing, “$1 million plus € 300 thousand and millions of Ghanaian cedes at a Ghanaian Minister’s home? Scandalous!!”
Even if they were obtained legally, he questioned the decision to keep such sizable quantities of money at home and questioned whether President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo would set a good example for other public office holders in his administration.
Two domestic helpers of Cecilia Abena Dapaah and her husband, Daniel Osei Kuffour, are accused of stealing money and other valuables worth millions of Ghana Cedis and are being prosecuted in an Accra Circuit Court.
The couple’s chamber in their home in Abelemkpe, an Accra suburb, is where the allegedly stolen funds were found.
Between July and October 2022, Patience Botwe, 18, and Sarah Agyei, 30, are accused of stealing the couple’s money and personal belongings.
