Special Prosecutor erred in handling Cecilia Dapaah case - Kwame Adofo

Constitutional Lawyer Kwame Adofo has criticised the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) for the missteps it made in the case of former Sanitation Minister Cecilia Dapaah.

He claims that the OSP accused Dapaah of money laundering prematurely without sufficient evidence to back up the allegations.

Adofo also mentioned that after these events, the OSP transferred the case to the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO).

He mentioned that transferring the case to EOCO without a solid basis escalated the issue and raised doubts about the chances of a successful resolution.

"OSP knew he had messed up, and to make an excuse to cover up his ineffectiveness, he handed the case to EOCO because he knew he messed up

"Transferring the case to EOCO without a solid foundation only compounds the issue

Without tangible leads or evidence, the prospects of a successful investigation are slim; without tangible evidence, the case remains mired in uncertainty," Adofo remarked
