The Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources, Cecilia Abena Dapaah has come under intense criticism and backlash from internet users following a viral circulation of a statement signed by her indicating she would be addressing the inconsistencies surrounding public discussions of a theft case involving her domestic workers at her Abelemkpe residence.
The reactions from netizens were an outright dismissal of the statement. Most users who reacted to the statement on social media indicated they needed no other explanations and that they are able to draw conclusions from the information available, while others mocked her for her inability to check the inconsistencies with the spelling of her name in the statement she released.
The minister is reported to have called for the arrest and prosecution of her domestic staff who allegedly stole monies including $1 million dollars, €300,000, several cedis and other items from her private residence.
The matter has sparked public concerns including the Minority Caucus in Parliament calling for her dismissal.

She's guilty asf. If she genuinely made that money she would be dropping some receipts and offering tangible reasons by now
