Amidst the unfolding scandal, Mr. Daniel Osei Kuffuor who is Madam Cecelia Dapaah’s husband and an astute architect has stepped forward to claim ownership of the 300,000 euros allegedly stolen by the housemaids.
Madam Cecelia Dappah has also asserted that she personally owns only $200,000 out of the $1 million involved.
The former minister went on to explain to the court that the remaining $800,000 actually belonged to her late brother, Nana Akwasi Essan II, who held the esteemed position of Otumfuo’s Numuahene.
According to Madam Cecelia Dappah, the money was intended for a real estate development project, but unfortunately, her brother passed away before the plan could come to fruition.
As further alleged by Paul Adom Otchere, the $800,000 was part of a significant investment aimed at bolstering the real estate sector in the country.
The sudden and untimely passing of Madam Cecelia Dappah’s brother tragically halted these ambitious plans.
The unfolding drama surrounding the money scandal has gripped the nation, leaving many wondering about the truth behind the conflicting claims.
The case has raised questions about the accumulation of such vast sums of money and the need for transparency and accountability in public office.
