“Recent revelations have come to light regarding the discovery of an astonishing amount of money in the private residence of a Ghanaian Minister.
“The sum in question amounts to $1 million, €300,000, and millions of Ghanaian Cedis.
“We cannot overlook such a serious development that has the potential to undermine the very principles of probity, accountability, and transparency in our governance.
“Given the magnitude and gravity of this situation, it is essential that an immediate and impartial investigation be carried-out to ascertain the source and legitimacy of these funds.
“I strongly urge the concerned Minister to voluntarily step aside from her duties until the relevant state institutions have conducted a thorough and independent investigation into this matter.
“The people of Ghana deserve nothing less than a government that serves their interests with honesty and dedication.”
