Two housekeepers who work for Cecilia Abena Dapaah, the Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, and her husband, Mr. Daniel Osei Kuffour, are accused of stealing money and things worth millions of cedis from the couple's home in Abelemkpe, Accra. They are being prosecuted at an Accra Circuit Court.The suspects, Patience Botwe, 18, and Sarah Agyei, 30, have been charged with five charges of theft and conspiracy to commit a felony.Between July and October 2022, allegedly thefts took place.
The housemaids are accused of stealing personal items from Madam Cecilia Abena Dapaah during this time, including a variety of garments costing GH95,000, as well as handbags, perfumes, and jewelry worth US$95,000, from her.Ms. Botwe is additionally charged with stealing six pieces of Kente fabric worth GH 90 000 and six sets of men's clothes costing US $ 3 000 from the minister's husband.
Three additional people—her father, her current and former boyfriends, and Ms. Botwe—are also accused of participating in the crime and are being prosecuted. They are each accused of receiving GH50,000, GH180,000, and GH1,000,000 dishonestly.The money and things were taken from Madam Cecilia Abena Dapaah and her husband's bedroom at their home, according to court documents, and they belonged to them.
On July 20, 2023, Susana Ekuful, the judge of the Accra
Circuit Court, heard the arraignment of the defendants. Their pleadings have
not yet been heard, though.
On the other hand, Ms. Botwe has been remanded into legal custody together with her purported boyfriends and father.After realizing that money and other items were stolen, the complainants called the police and filed a theft report. Ms. Botwe was arrested after being exposed for breaking into the couple's room with a spare key.
Further investigations showed that Patience had hidden the stolen money and used it to buy homes and pricey stuff, maybe with the assistance of her suspected accomplice Sarah.The case is continued by the court in order to decide what will happen to those who are accused on August 2, 2023.
People are wondering how the minister acquired such wealth and assets. And why did she save the money at home rather at a bank? The phrase "Thief Man thief Thief Man, who is God going to judge???" is used by some to support the activities of the househelps while others criticize them.
