Controversial entertainment pundit Mr Logic has defended former Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources Cecilia Abena Dapaah against accusations of theft.
Mr Logic lambasted Ghanaians for hastily labeling the former minister as a thief, arguing that the poverty-stricken mindset prevalent in the country tends to misconstrue luxury and wealth as ill-gotten gains.
He urged the public to avoid rushing to conclusions about the source and purpose of the alleged money, saying that it is unfair to accuse someone of being a thief without concrete evidence.
“If someone wants to save his or her money at home, whether the money is for a project or family money or something, you don’t know, then all of a sudden, all of you are tagging her as a thief,” he said.
Mr Logic also argued that the former minister’s decision to step down from her position voluntarily for investigations should be seen as a sign of honesty and integrity.
“The woman is not a thief, it is her own money that people have stolen and she wanted to be honest because she is public official so she has stepped down for investigations,” he said.
The former minister resigned her position on July 22, stating that she did not want the government to be burdened with her personal issues. President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has accepted her resignation.
Mr Logic’s defense of the former minister comes at a time when there is a growing public outcry over the issue. Many Ghanaians are demanding that the government take action to investigate the allegations and bring the perpetrators to justice.
