The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr John Dramani Mahama, has pledged to reexamine the scandal involving former Sanitation Minister Cecilia Dapaah if elected president. 

In a tweet on Thursday, 2 May 2024, Mr Mahama affirmed, "My administration will reinvestigate alleged instances of corruption and malfeasance in the Cecelia Dapaah affair." 

This declaration follows advice from the Attorney General's office against pursuing money laundering inquiries into Dapaah's conduct by the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO). 

The Attorney General determined that the Special Prosecutor's Office (OSP) lacked substantial grounds to request EOCO to initiate money laundering investigations into Dapaah's affairs. 

The OSP's interest stemmed from the discovery of over $1 million in cash at the former minister's residence, prompting concerns of money laundering. 

Despite months of joint investigation involving agencies like the United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Attorney General's office found that the OSP failed to submit a comprehensive report to EOCO or respond to its requests for findings. 

The analysis of the dossier by the Attorney General's office revealed no evidence of corruption or related offenses against Cecilia Dapaah. 

Consequently, without criminal implications associated with the properties of the NPP Politician, the Attorney General's office concluded there was no basis for pursuing a money laundering investigation.
