The Attorney-General of Ghana, Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, has withdrawn all charges against former Works and Housing Minister, Alhaji Collins Dauda, and four other individuals involved in the $200 million Saglemi Housing Project.
In a notice filed at the High Court (Financial Division 1) in Accra in February 2025, the state confirmed that it would no longer pursue the case. The individuals cleared of charges include:
- Alhaji Collins Dauda, former Minister for Works and Housing
- Kweku Agyeman-Mensah, former Minister for Water Resources, Works, and Housing
- Alhaji Ziblim Yakubu, former Chief Director, Ministry for Water Resources, Works, and Housing
- Nouvi Tetteh Angelo, CEO of Ridge Management Solutions Ghana Limited
- Andrew Clocanas (deceased), former Executive Chairman, Construtora OAS Ghana Limited
The case, which was initiated under the previous administration, accused the individuals of causing financial loss to the state through alleged mismanagement and irregularities related to the housing project.
With the latest decision to discontinue the case, the Attorney-General’s office has officially ended the prosecution, clearing the accused of any wrongdoing.
