President John Dramani Mahama has disclosed that the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice is finalising 33 corruption-related cases involving former government appointees, with court proceedings expected to commence soon.
The cases stem from investigations conducted by the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Committee, a special task force established by President Mahama on December 18, 2024, to track and retrieve looted state assets.
The ORAL Committee, chaired by North Tongu MP, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, and includes high-profile figures such as former Auditor-General Daniel Yao Domelevo, retired Commissioner of Police Kofi Boakye, private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu, and investigative journalist Raymond Archer.

Speaking at a meeting with the African Union Advisory Board Against Corruption at Jubilee House on Tuesday, June 3, President Mahama said the committee had handed over the 33 identified cases to the Attorney-General’s office.
“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,” Mahama said.
He noted that the investigations have uncovered substantial evidence, including the illegal acquisition of properties by some individuals under scrutiny.
“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 added.
President Mahama reaffirmed his commitment to fighting corruption and ensuring that no one is shielded from accountability, regardless of political affiliation.
