The Attorney General and Minister for Justice are presently pursuing 33 instances of corruption and associated offenses against former government appointees, according to President John Dramani Mahama.
These cases are the result of investigations carried out by the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Team, an anti-corruption task group that President Mahama formed following his election victory in 2024.
The team’s job was to collect information about potential corruption, especially under the previous government, and send it to the relevant state authorities so they could take necessary action.
North Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa chairs the five-member team, which consists of investigative journalist Raymond Archer, retired Police Commissioner Nathaniel Kofi Boakye, former Auditor-General Daniel Domelevo, and attorney Martin Kpebu. All five members are known for their honesty and steadfast opposition to corruption.
The ORAL Team finished its work and sent the results to the Attorney General’s Office for additional review and possible prosecution.
President Mahama said that court proceedings on the 33 charges would soon start during a meeting with the African Union Advisory Board Against Corruption at the Jubilee House on Tuesday, June 3, 2025.
“We set up the ORAL Committee, and they have identified 33 cases, which were handed over to the Attorney General. We have created special investigative teams to investigate each of them.
“Some of them have found a lot of evidence of the procurement of properties with illicit wealth. With many of them, they are just at the point of beginning prosecution. Some have also started the prosecution, and others are being lined up,” he stated.
