Cecilia Dapaah says after resigning that she will assist with inquiries

Following the uproar generated by the alleged theft of $1 million from her home by her house helpers, Cecilia Dapaah, immediate-past Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, has asserted her innocence, saying that she will assist with any state agency investigating the situation.
According to reports on Friday, two people who worked for the Sanitation Minister and her husband at their house were accused of taking large quantities of money and other valuables from the property.
Patience Botwe, 18, and Sarah Agyei, 30, are accused of stealing US$1 million, €300,000, and millions of Ghana cedis between July and October 2022.
They also allegedly stole clothing, purses, perfumes, jewellery, kente fabric, and outfits worth thousands of dollars from Mrs Dapaah’s husband.
Cecilia Dapaah resigned on Saturday amid public outrage over the amount of money she was said to have stored at her residence.
She stated that she did not want the situation to become “a hindrance to government work at such a critical time.”
Mrs Dapaah had issued a statement earlier in the day, noting “noticeable inconsistencies” in the case’s proceedings.
Several people, including Minority Leader Cassiel Ato Forson and anti-corruption activist Edem Senanu, have asked for an investigation into the situation.
Cecilia Dapaah stated in her statement that she was willing to collaborate with any state agency to determine the facts of the case and that she was convinced she would be exonerated.
“I intend to cooperate fully with all state agencies to enable them fully establish the facts,” the statement said.
“I have no doubt whatsoever that at the end of the processes, it will be fully established that I have conducted myself with integrity during my period in public service and I will be fully exonerated from all the allegations that have filled the public domain in the past 24 hours.”
Mrs Dapaah stood her ground on her complaint that the figures being reported had been exaggerated.
“Whereas I can state emphatically that those figures do not represent correctly what my husband and I reported to the Police, I am very much aware of the import of such stories around someone in my position,” the statement added.

Menzgold: NAM1 enters a not guilty plea to allegations of money laundering, fraud, and other offences

Nana Appiah Mensah, the former CEO of Menzgold, also known as NAM 1, has pleaded not guilty to all 39 charges of wrongdoing.
Nana Appiah Mensah, widely known as NAM 1, was charged with 39 counts of crimes, including money laundering abetment, deceiving by false pretences, carrying out deposit-taking without the required licence, unlawful deposit-taking, and money laundering.
This is a decrease from the 61 counts originally filed against him.
In 2019, the Attorney General launched an inquiry on NAM 1, accusing him of scamming hundreds of clients out of millions of Ghana cedis through his gold dealership enterprise.
The case was adjourned numerous times until new charges were brought on August 30, 2023.
Mr Appiah Mensah stated plans to unfreeze locked up cash of Menzgold clients in exchange for 650 for verification.
Following that, he altered his intention to force former clients to obtain a verification access card in order to authenticate transactions and confirm claims, despite substantial public and consumer outcry.

Limited Voter Registration: Two people detained for attempting to register twice

Two people were detained in Asokore Mampong Municipality for allegedly attempting to double register in the current Limited Voters’ Registration Exercise.
According to Municipal EC official Angela Afriyie Osei, the two suspects were apprehended after being validated as people existing in the Electoral Commission’s database.
As a challenge to the procedure, Madam Angela Afriyie mentions duplicate registration and efforts to register minors.
“The challenge we have been facing is about the double registration. At times when applicants come and we interrogate them, they insist he or she hasn’t registered before but when they go to the biometric column then it will come out that the person has registered.
“At the moment, we’ve handed two to the police. On male and a female. Another issue is also with the registration of minors,” she indicated.
Meanwhile, some party operatives are pleased with the outcome thus far.
“So far, we are satisfied with the entire process except some few challenges but that aside, we are very much comfortable with the process. All in all, everything is great,” an agent told JoyNews.

Black Sherif prophesy: Prophet Nigel Gaisie makes u-turn

Nigel Gaisie, the founder and head of the Prophetic Hill Chapel, has stunned Ghanaians by backtracking on his prophecy regarding artist Black Sherif.
Prophet Gaisie had a vision in which he witnessed the mother of musical sensation Black Sherif sobbing excessively in a post on his official Facebook page.
As a result, he pushed the musician to seek safety before December, implying his impending death.
However, in a recent interview, Prophet Gaisie clarified that the prophecy is for a particular Sherif Black and not the Konongo-based performer.
“We see in bits and pieces, and what I saw in the spiritual realm is Sherif Black, but any logical person can make projections and deductions from it.” If I hear a prophecy about Ako and my name is Akosua, I will definitely act on it,” he said in parables.
Regardless, the man of God exhorted those who were convinced of the prophecy to fast and pray in order to avoid death.
Prophet Gaisie, who dismissed charges that his doom prophecies concerning celebrities are only for fame, stated that he will quit making them public in order to prevent insults and derision.
