The High Court in Accra has directed the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to provide the investigation caution and charge statements of former sanitation minister Cecilia Dapaah and her husband to Patience Botwe, the first accused in an ongoing criminal trial.

This case involves the alleged theft of significant sums of money from Dapaah's residence.

Botwe, a former house help, had filed an application requesting access to these documents, arguing they were essential for her defence.

Ms Botwe's legal team stressed the importance of these statements in cross-examining Dapaah and her husband, both of whom are key witnesses in the case.
