Hon. Cecilia Abena Dapaah has renounced her position as the Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources.
This happened following the dispute over the $ 1 million, among other things, allegedly stolen from her house by her house helps.
“I write to inform you that I wish to resign from my position as Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources”, the resignation letter stated.
Hon. Cecilia Abena Dapaah thank the President for the honour and opportunity to serve in the government and an even greater honour to have worked to try and bring your great vision for the country to fruition.
According to her, since yesterday, Friday, July 21, 2023, social and traditional media have been full of stories about a court case involving a theft that took place last year in the home she lives with her husband and daughter.
The stories sought to suggest that she owns various huge sums of foreign currencies and millions of Ghana cedis which have been stolen from my home.
“Whereas I can state emphatically that those figures do not represent correctly what my husband and I reported to the Police, I am very much aware of the import of such stories around someone in my position”, she added.
To her, resigning has become a necessity because she doesn’t want this matter to become a preoccupation of the government and a hindrance to the work of the government at such a crucial time.
I intend to cooperate fully with all state agencies to enable them fully establish the facts.
I have no doubt whatsoever that at the end of the processes, it will be fully established that I have conducted myself with integrity during my period in public service and I will be fully exonerated from all the allegations that have filled the public domain in the past 24 hours.
Hon. Cecilia Abena Dapaah thanked the President, for the honour done me in allowing me to serve our beautiful nation Ghana.
