President John Dramani Mahama has disclosed that the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice is currently preparing 33 cases involving allegations of corruption and related offences against former government appointees.
The development follows investigations by the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Team, an anti-corruption task force set up by President Mahama following his return to office after the 2024 general elections.
The ORAL Team was tasked with identifying and documenting acts of corruption, particularly under the immediate past administration.
Upon concluding its work, the task force submitted its findings to the Office of the Attorney-General for further action.
President Mahama, while addressing the African Union Advisory Board Against Corruption at the Jubilee House on Tuesday, 3 June 2025, confirmed that court proceedings on the cases would soon commence.
“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.
“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.”
President Mahama emphasised that his government remained committed to transparency and accountability, and stressed that the fight against corruption would not spare anyone, regardless of political affiliation.
