The spokesperson for the Attorney General’s Office Isaac Wilberforce Mensah, has clarified that the office is still investigating the Cecilia Abena Dapaah scandal.
His statement comes after the office advised the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) not to conduct any money laundering investigations into the former Sanitation Minister’s affairs.
However, in a post on X, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama stated that, “My government will reopen investigations into alleged acts of corruption and graft in the Cecelia Dapaah case.”
Speaking in an interview with Citi FM’s Umaru Sanda Amadu on Thursday, Mr. Mensah indicated that, AG’s directive did not mean all investigations should be closed.
“What the AG has done is not to close any door for investigation. We have not closed any door for investigation. The AG has indicated already that the police are investigating this matter. Even most of the documents that the OSP relied on for its investigations were documents procured from the police or obtained from the Ghana Police Service. So how has the AG or the Office of the AG by this letter closed investigations? It is thus certainly not what the letter sought to suggest”, he explained.
