Cecilia Dapaah’s US$1m case: Maid, 6 others arrested again for 31 fresh charges

Former minister for Sanitation and Water Resources, Cecilia Dapaah

Patience Botwe, the housemaid of former Minister for Sanitation, Cecilia Dapaah, and six others have been arrested again and slapped with 31 fresh charges by state prosecutors after the charge sheet at Circuit Court was withdrawn.

Although the details of these fresh charges are yet to be made known, a video shared on X by @StarrFM, captures a Patience Botwe and others being carried away from the court premises.

The maid, Patience Botwe, aged 18, and the others have been charged for allegedly stealing various sums of monies including $1 million, €300, 000 and other properties from the former minister, Cecilia Dapaah.

They have since July 6, 2023, been put before the Circuit Court while investigations are ongoing.

Ghana’s leading digital news platform, GhanaWeb, in conjunction with the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, is embarking on an aggressive campaign which is geared towards ensuring that parliament passes comprehensive legislation to guide organ harvesting, organ donation, and organ transplantation in the country.
