The Office of the Special Prosecutor, OSP has filed a motion at the High Court seeking confirmation of seizure and freezing orders of the financial assets of former Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources, Cecilia Dapaah.
A hearing has been slated for October 18, 2023.
The Cedi and Dollar bank accounts belonging to the former Minister were frozen by the OSP on August 9, 2023 but the High Court in Accra on August 31, 2023 overturned the decision.
The Court ordered that funds seized from Madam Dapaah be returned to her within seven days and also directed the OSP to unfreeze her accounts.
The OSP subsequently invoked its powers to retake custody of the money, days after the High Court asked the office to return the seized money.
