YEN.com.gh reported that the Office of the Special Prosecutor and the Economic and Organised Crime Office had some friction over disgraced sanitation minister Cecilia Dapaah's prosecution.

The special prosecutor’s office believes EOCO is showcasing a lack of interest in pursuing alleged corruption from the former minister.

Dapaah faced public scrutiny for alleged corruption after losing $1 million, €300,000, and an undisclosed amount of Ghana cedis said to have been stolen by her house helps. The scandal eventually led to her resignation.
