The Office of the Attorney General has debunked reports that the case involving Madam Cecilia Dapaah, the former Sanitation Minister, is closed.
Spokesperson for the Attorney General’s OfficeIsaac Wilberforce Mensah denied allegations that the office has closed the investigations into the scandal involving the former Sanitation Minister.
Former President John Dramani has promised to reopen the case if he is elected president.
This follows advice the Attorney General gave the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) against conducting money laundering investigations into the affairs of the former Sanitation Minister.
The Office concluded that the request by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to EOCO to initiate money laundering investigations into Cecilia Dapaah’s affairs was unfounded.
Mr. Mahama reacting to this assured Ghanaians that he reopen investigations into the scandal involving the former Sanitation Minister if he is elected President.
But Isaac Wilberforce Mensah has maintained that the Attorney General has not closed the case.
“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.”
“No, the department we are here to serve the country. The office of the AG transcends administrations. So yes. If investigations are opened and there is the need to prosecute. Why not. But as it stands now no crime has been established,” he told Accra based Citi FM.
