A Governance and Leadership Expert Expert Professor Enoch Opoku Antwi has wondered why anyone will keep a huge amount of money at home such as the amount that the Sanitation Minister Cecilia Dapaah kept in her house. Why will anyone keep such an amount at home if it was legitimate money, he asked. Prof Antwi indicated that whether in a private or public enterprise, a person cannot keep such an amount of money at home as the Sanitation Minister Cecilia Dapaah kept at her house. He believes that keeping such an amount of money at home puts the lives of the person’s family members who live in the same house in danger. Professor Antwi asked the Minister to step aside and allow for investigations to take place. “Whether private or public you cannot keep it at home,” he said on the Key Points on TV3 Saturday, July 22. He added “You put your entire household in danger. If the money is not legitimate that is when people will keep it in the house and we need to investigate the source of the money.” Maiden edition of Ghana Youth Awards slated for Aug. 21 Meanwhile, Madam Cecilia Dapaah has said that there are inconsistencies in the reports on the millions of Dollars and Euros kept at her home.
