Cecilia Dapaah’s saga: Keeping such amount of money at home very irresponsible – Lecturer

Political Analyst and a Senior Lecturer at the University of Cape Coast(UCC), Dr Jonathan-Asante Otchere has described the Former Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources Cecilia Abena Dapaah’s decision to keep huge sums of money in her room as irresponsible and a defeat to the government’s digitalization initiative.

“It is irresponsible to keep your money under your bed and still want citizens to comply with the policies on money. Not only on the minister but it has defeated the digitalization thing altogether. How do you encourage people to come to bank and save when you keep such money in your home?” Dr Jonathan-Asante Otchere quizzed on Angel FM’s Breaking News in Kumasi.

He further continued that, the action by the minister also dents the image of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) led by President Nana Addo  Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

“Now the corporate image of the party is gone because there is nothing you are going to say that the people will believe again”. He bemoaned

Speaking on the President’s acceptance letter to the Former Minister trying to clear her of the crime, Dr Jonathan Asante-Otchere described the statement as needless. 

“We need the president not to have written that kind of letter responding to the woman’s resignation. You don’t have to colour it. He shouldn’t have to colour it with those colourful words. It was needless”, he stated.

To him, the President who has been tagged as a clearing agent only worsen the situation with such a letter.

Meanwhile, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) in a press release said the embattled former Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources Cecilia Abena Dapaah has been arrested for suspected corruption and corruption-related offences following her resignation as a minister in the wake of revelations that she had stashed huge cash in her bedroom, part of which got stolen by two of her “house helps’

In a press release dated July 24, 2023, and signed by the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, Mrs Dapaah, who was arrested earlier today, is being questioned by his outfit about the huge stash of cash and other valuables belonging to her that got stolen from her bedroom.

This comes after Court documents revealed that Mrs Dapaah had lodged an official complaint with the police about two of her domestic staff for allegedly stealing 1 million dollars, 300,000 Euros, millions of Cedis and some jewellery.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them. Related Posts Quoting a Scripture from Matthew, Papa Shee mentioned that no one should refer to a man as his/her spiritual father because the word speaks against it.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to.
