Ask Special Prosecutor – Attorney-General on whether Cecilia Dapaah’s case is over

According to Attorney-General Dame, Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng is better placed to respond to whether the alleged money laundering case against the former Sanitation Minister, Cecilia Dapaah, has officially concluded.

However, Mr.

Dame maintained that, as far as he is concerned, the Special Prosecutor, having returned the seized funds to the former Minister and indicating that there was no evidence of money laundering, has no case against the former Minister.

In an interview on Joy FM on Thursday, May 2, Mr.

Furthermore, the Attorney-General noted that if indeed the funds were still a subject of investigation, they would not be released to the former Minister.
