This follows the scandal surrounding the alleged theft of multiple foreign and local currencies from the Kufours' residence by a housekeeper. She resigned from her position.

Both have been charged with one count of conspiracy to commit a crime and five counts of theft one million dollars, three hundred thousand euros, and millions of Ghana cedis.
