Cecilia Abena Dapaah, Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources has handed her letter of resignation to President Akufo-Addo today, July 22, 2023.
This follows reports about the theft of one million dollars and other properties by her former house maids from her residence in the Abelemkpe neighborhood of Accra.
In her letter of resignation, Cecilia Dapaah states that she is leaving her position because she does not want her personal problems to “hinder on the work of government.” She also says she will fully assist any state entities that attempt to involve her in an inquiry.
On Friday, July 21, it was revealed that the Minister’s two housekeepers were being tried by an Accra Circuit Court for allegedly stealing $1 million, $300,000, and millions of Ghana cedis in October 2022 from her home in Abelenkpe, Accra.
Below is the Minister’s resignation note.
