Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, Cecilia Abena Dapaah, has tendered her resignation amidst a scandal involving the alleged theft by two of her house helps.
The resignation came after reports surfaced of two individuals facing charges for reportedly stealing a staggering sum of $1 million, €300,000, and millions of Ghanaian cedis from her residence in Abelenkpe, Accra, in October 2022.
In her formal letter addressed to the President, Madam Dapaah cited her desire to spare the government from being preoccupied with the ongoing controversy and avoid any potential hindrance to its crucial operations during this period.
The two, 18-year-old Patience Botwe and 30-year-old Sarah Agyei allegedly stole the monies and personal effects of the couple, between the months of July and October 2022.
Both have been charged with one count of conspiracy to commit a crime and five counts of stealing US$1 million, €300,000, and millions of Ghana cedis.
Below is the resignation letter by Cecilia Dapaah:
