Former Sanitation Minister Cecilia Dapaah has taken legal action by initiating an interlocutory injunction application against the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).
The application is to prevent any further confiscation of her properties until the criminal case against her is resolved.
In the application presented by Madam Dapaah’s legal team, they are requesting an order of interlocutory injunction to prohibit the Office of the Special Prosecutor from taking actions that could harm or compromise Cecilia Dapaah’s rights.
These rights encompass her right to a fair trial, protection against property deprivation, and the right to administrative justice.
This legal action follows a previous application filed on October 10 by Madam Dapaah, in which she sought to halt the OSP’s investigation and prosecution of her and her husband, Daniel Osei Kufuor, on corruption-related charges.
In her October lawsuit for a judicial review, the former Minister asked the court to declare the seizure and re-freezing of bank accounts on September 5, 2023, as unfair, unreasonable, capricious, and arbitrary.
Madam Dapaah contends that an injunction is necessary to safeguard her property and personal rights, stressing that damages would be an insufficient remedy if the application is not granted.
“I am advised by Counsel that I have property and personal rights that need to be protected by this Honourable Court, and that an order of injunction should be granted against the Respondent to prohibit and restrain him from further violating my rights until the determination of this matter.
“I am advised by Counsel that damages will be inadequate to compensate me if this application for an injunction is not granted and judgment is subsequently entered in the Applicant’s favour.”
