Cecilia Abena Dapaah, the minister of sanitation and water resources in the cabinet of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has received praise for her resignation.
Madam Abena Dapaah tendered in her resignation on Saturday, July 22, barely 24 hours after public discourse of her stolen cash.
Accepting her resignation, President Akufo-Addo described the work done by the former Bantama Member of Parliament as “excellent and productive”.
“It is with considerable regret that I accept your resignation, and I applaud your loyalty to the image and standing of the government,” he wrote on Saturday.
“The work you undertook during your period in Government was excellent and productive, and I thank you for your wholehearted contribution and devotion to the progress of the Government and the nation.”
Madam Abena Dapaah said in her letter of resignation that she would be available and cooperative with any state agency looking into her case, which she admits has now become a “hindrance” to government at this “crucial” moment.
