(A) Neither the minister (B) nor his personal secretary (C) were found (D) on the scene. (E) No Error

This follows the format of neither-nor and uses “the” as a particular minister is being referred. This uses the right pronoun (it can also be “her”) 'neither the minister nor his personal secretary was found on the scene'. Both the minister and his personal secretary are referred to as two distinct individuals separately. In a nutshell, it means 'the minister was not found on the scene' and 'the personal secretary was not found on the scene'. When combined together, the first second subject determines whether the verb will be singular or plural. Correct use of preposition. There is no error
