Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The former Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, Cecilia Abena Dapaah, has filed an application at the Human Rights Division of the Accra High Court, seeking an order of an interlocutory injunction against the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).<\/b><\/p>\n

She is praying the Court to restrain the OSP, its officers, assigns and servants from taking any step that will adversely affect or prejudice her rights to fair trial, protection from deprivation of property and administrative justice.<\/p>\n

She said this should be enforced until the final determination of the case between her and the OSP.<\/p>\n

These were contained in her affidavit filed in response to the suit by the OSP.<\/p>\n

Madam Cecilia Dapaah had initially opposed the suit against her by the OSP, pointing out that the re-seizure of her monies and re-freezing of her accounts and property were \u201cunfair, unreasonable, capricious, arbitrary and ultra vires\u201d viz-a-viz the OSP\u2019s powers in Act 959 and provisions of Article 23 and 296 of the 1992 Constitution.<\/p>\n

She prayed the court to order the OSP to release her money and unfreeze her account.<\/p>\n

She also prayed the court to prohibit the OSP from continuing the investigation about her and her husband, Daniel Osei Kufuor.<\/p>\n

The former Bantama Member of Parliament (MP) said her opposition was necessitated by the OSP\u2019s \u201cprejudicial\u201d and \u201carbitrary\u201d conduct since the inception of its investigations against her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am advised by Counsel and verily believe same to be true that to prevent further violation of my constitutionally guaranteed rights and rendering my application for judicial review otiose, it is imperative that the Respondent is restrained from continuing his investigation pending the determination of my said application.\u201d<\/p>\n

She prayed the court that damages against her will be \u201cinadequate to compensate me\u201d if her application for injunction is not granted by the court.<\/p>\n
