It is in the interest of Cecilia Dapaah that this case is investigated credibly – Sammy Gyamfi

Moreover, the office noted the OSP has not responded to EOCO’s request for its findings.

According to the Attorney General’s office, the docket presented to EOCO only contains the OSP’s letter transmitting the docket, the diary of action, statements taken during the investigation, and letters written by the OSP to other institutions like the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) and banks for inquiries.

But Mr. Gyamfi, speaking on TV3’s political analysis programme The Key Points on Saturday, May 4, reiterated the stance of the party’s flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama.

Mr. Mahama said in a post on X on Thursday that his government will “reopen investigations into alleged acts of corruption and graft in the Cecelia Dapaah case.”

According to Sammy Gyamfi, “There is a grand conspiracy by the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia NPP government to cover up the truths and real facts of this Cecilia Dapaah case.”

“This should be obvious to any objective bystander,” he said.

Furthermore, the NDC communicator maintained that President Akufo-Addo never showed interest in investigating one of his appointees for alleged corruption and money laundering “right from the get-go.”

“This government led by President himself has acted in ways that show they are not interested in an investigation at all and you see, if they think that they are helping Madam Cecilia Dapaah in doing so, then they’re mistaken,” said Mr. Gyamfi, indicating that “they are actually worsening the case for Cecilia Dapaah.”

“Because it is in the interest of Cecilia Dapaah that this matter is investigated in a credible and transparent way,” he noted.

A-G says EOCO’s money laundering investigation is baseless

Meanwhile, further analysis of the docket by the Attorney General’s office revealed that the OSP did not find any evidence of corruption or corruption-related offenses against Cecilia Dapaah.

The Attorney General’s office emphasised that the key to pursuing money laundering investigations is the capacity to prove that financial gains were obtained from criminal proceeds arising from unlawful activity.

“In the absence of the identification of any criminality associated with the properties retrieved from the suspects, the OSP’s referral to EOCO for investigations to be conducted into money laundering is without basis,” the A-G’s advisory to EOCO emphasised.
