President John Dramani Mahama has stated that the Attorney General (AG) is actively preparing 33 corruption cases against former government appointees.
The disclosure was made in the report of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) committee, where Mahama emphasised the urgent need for transparency and justice in governance.
Mahama underscored the seriousness of corruption allegations under past administrations and the importance of pursuing due legal processes.
According to him, the Attorney General’s Department has completed preliminary investigations and is now moving forward with formal charges.
Speaking during a meeting with the African Union Advisory Board Against Corruption at the Jubilee House on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, President Mahama said court proceedings on the 33 cases would soon begin.
“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.
The Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL) Committee on Monday, February 10, 2025, submitted its report to President Mahama containing 2,417 complaints of suspected corruption.
The complaints, which were gathered from the public in response to the committee’s call for the public to report suspected corruption cases, were officially handed over to the president at the Jubilee House.
Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Chairman of the committee and Foreign Affairs minister addressed the president before presenting the report. He stated that Ghanaians were deeply concerned about corruption and were eagerly anticipating the president’s actions to address the issue.
