Ghana’s anti-graft agency arrested a former minister after her household help was accused of stealing more than $1.4 million in foreign and local currency that was stashed at her house.
Cecilia Abena Dapaah, who resigned as minister of sanitation and water resources on Saturday, was arrested two days later, according to a statement by Kissi Agyebeng, head of the Office of the Special Prosecutor. She was detained for “suspected corruption and corruption-related offenses” following the reported theft from her house, according to the statement.
