Private legal practitioner, Martin Luther Kpebu, has returned to court in connection with the alleged financial scandal involving Cecilia Abenaa Dapaah, the former Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources.
Abena Dapaah, a former Minister under the erstwhile Akufo-Addo administration, became a subject of investigation when huge sums of monies were discovered in her house.
The matter became public after she reported her house help of stealing a whooping GHC1 million from her home, together with other foreign currencies and valuable items worth hundreds of thousands of cedis belonging to her and her husband.
She was charged with money laundering but was found not guilty after the then Attorney-General and Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) failed to establish the allegations with evidence, following a probe by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).
Speaking on the KeyPoints on TV3 Saturday, March 15, 2025, the renowned lawyer disclosed that they have returned to court for proper interpretation of the law, asserting that the former Attorney-General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, interpreted the provision just to allow Madam Dapaah escape.
“This week we were in court, this Cecilia Dapaah matter, dragging EOCO and the Attorney-General, trying to make sure that the law is interpreted well. Godfred Dame interpreted the law in such a way to allow Cecilia Dapaah to escape but we said no, that’s not it.
“Once that money was found and the money is money that so far Cecilia Dapaah cannot even account for, she said she had created a businesses, all the two businesses, when OSP did investigation, those businesses didn’t belong to her so where did that money come from? Money laundering, that’s our case,” Kpebu stated.
