President John Dramani Mahama has disclosed that the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice is currently investigating 33 cases of corruption and related offenses against former appointees.
These cases of corruption offenses were identified by the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Team, an anti-corruption task force established by President Mahama after his 2024 election victory.
Speaking during a meeting with the African Union Advisory Board Against Corruption at the Jubilee House on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, President Mahama said some prosecutions related to these cases have begun while others would soon begin.
“We set up the ORAL Committee, it identified 33 cases and it was handed over to the Attorney-General and he’s created special investigative teams to investigate each of them.
“Some of them they have found evidence of procurement of properties with illicit wealth and all that and so with many of them, they are just at the point of beginning prosecution, some they have started prosecution and others are being lined up for prosecution,” he said.
The ORAL team was tasked by the President to gather information on suspected corruption, particularly under the previous administration, and submit it to the appropriate state institutions for action.
The five-member team, chaired by North Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, includes former Auditor-General Daniel Domelevo, retired Police Commissioner Nathaniel Kofi Boakye, legal practitioner Martin Kpebu, and investigative journalist Raymond Archer.
The ORAL team presented its final report to the president at the seat of government in Accra on Monday, February 10 after completing its work.
President John Dramani Mahama further charged the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General Dr Dominic Ayine to commence investigations into the cases of corruption captured in the report of the Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL) team.
