AdubianewsThe Attorney General is getting ready to prosecute 33 cases of alleged corruption involving former government officials, according to President John Dramani Mahama.
The cases are based on the findings of the anti-corruption task force called the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Team, which the president formed after he was elected back to government in 2024.
The task group, which consisted of five individuals with a reputation for fighting corruption, was tasked with looking into possible financial misdeeds, especially those that occurred during the previous administration.
Former Auditor-General Daniel Domelevo, retired Police Commissioner Nathaniel Kofi Boakye, attorney Martin Kpebu, investigative journalist Raymond Archer, and North Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa are the members of the ORAL team.
During a meeting with the African Union Advisory Board Against Corruption on Tuesday, June 3, at the Jubilee House, President Mahama stated that the cases were now under the Attorney-General’s office’s purview and that prosecutions will soon start.
“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,” he said.
Additionally, he stated that numerous prosecutions were either in progress or about to begin, and that certain investigations had already turned up “a lot of evidence of the procurement of properties with illicit wealth.”
After finishing its work, the ORAL Team presented their findings in order to assist with asset recovery and legal action as part of the anti-corruption campaign of the Mahama-led administration.
