The administration of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been dubbed the most corrupt since 1992 by attorney Martin Kpebu.
He claims that corruption has been a significant issue for the government and that Nana Addo is unwilling to take prompt action.
“We have always known that corruption is such a big problem in this government. This government is riddled with unparalleled corruption in our history. This is about the most corrupt administration we have seen since the 1992 Constitution,” he said on Metro TV.
His comments follow the theft case at the residence of Cecilia Dapaah, the former minister of sanitation and water resources, where corruption-related offenses involving sizable sums of money were allegedly committed.
Martin Kpebu said; “I dismissed it but Madam Dapaah’s case gives credence to the issue.”
There has been a public uproar following court testimony that the Minister had kept millions of cedis, $300,000, and $1 million in Cecilia Dapaah and her husband Daniel Osei Kuffour’s home in Abelemkpe, Accra.
Two housekeepers, Patience Botwe, 18, and Sarah Agyei, 30, are accused of conspiring to commit a crime and five counts of theft in connection with the incident.
The alleged thefts, which allegedly took place between July and October 2022, included $95,000 worth of jewelry, clothing, handbags, and perfumes that belonged to Madam Cecilia Abena Dapaah.
Sarah was a former house help, and Patience, also known as Maabena, was a house help for the complainants.
The couple later discovered some of their possessions were missing after Kuffour caught Patience hiding in their bedroom.
Patience was remanded into legal custody along with her purported boyfriends and father.
Because she is a nursing mother, Sarah was granted bail; her bail requirement is GH$1,000,000 with 2 sureties.
Further investigations showed that Patience and her alleged boyfriends used the stolen money to rent an apartment in Tamale, buy a car, and spend a lot of money on various items.
Additionally, Sarah built a three-bedroom house with her share of the funds, which is where she was later detained.
