The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) says it disagrees with the Accra High Court’s order for it to return Former Sanitation Minister, Cecilia Dapaah’s seized money.
The Court on Thursday, August 31 ordered the OSP to return the money within seven days and reverse its August 9 decision to freeze her Dollar and Cedi accounts.However, the OSP in a statement in response to the Court’s order, said it respects the court’s decision but disagrees with it because it is erroneous.
“While the OSP respects the Court’s decision, it disagrees with the decision of the Court.
First, the OSP believes that the Court’s computation of the time limitation is, with respect, erroneous. The OSP searched three (3) private residences associated with Ms. Dapaah over the course of two (2) weeks. The searches and discovery were ongoing during that period.
There is little doubt that the OSP filed its application within the statutory window once the search and discovery window is considered.”
