Sanitation minister tops trends after courts document reveals over $1m was stolen from her house

Court documents reveal that the minister and her family lost US$1 million, €300,000, and millions of Ghana Cedis in cash; assorted clothes valued at GH¢95,000 and handbags, perfumes, and jewellery valued at US$95,000, during the robbery.

Many Ghanaians on social media, including leading politicians, have been left dumbfounded by the news.

Many are asking how the minister and her husband come by such an amount of wealth.

“How did the Minister (Cecilia Dapaah) and her husband come by this quantum of money? Is their home a bank? We must all be interested in finding out the source of the money,” the Member of Parliament for Builsa South wrote.

Broadcaster Bridget Otoo also wrote on Twitter, “Wow! I’m speechless on a Friday morning Wow”.

Nana Addo’s Minister, Cecilia Dapaah kept more than 16,000,000 at home and the money has been stolen by her domestic workers.

While those who kept their monies at the bank are receiving haircut.

This is how karma will pay those who gang-rape this nation.
