The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine is set to brief the nation on ORAL progress on Friday, June 13.
On February 10, 2025, the ORAL team submitted their final report to President John Mahama, who has since directed the Attorney General for further actions.
The chairman of Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) and Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa revealed that with just 36 cases, Ghana can potentially recover $ 20.49 billion in stolen state resources.
Dr Justice Srem Sai, the Deputy Attorney General has revealed that whistleblowers are pushing Operation Recover all Loots (ORAL) cases beyond 50.
According to the Deputy AG, the ORAL report had 33 cases but the cases are now running to over 50 cases.
He noted that Ghanaians are determined to get accountability leading to whistleblowing being on the rise.
Speaking on JOYNEWS, Dr Justice Srem Sai detailed, “There are other cases. The ORAL report had 33 cases, but I can tell you on authority that right now we are running over 50 cases. People are bringing you evidence and complaints. I can tell you, Ghanaians are really determined to get accountability.”
“You were right when you said that the ORAL is the ultimate determinant of what happened in 2020.”
He added, “Every day, someone walks into the Attorney General’s office. Some come with lawyers, others come alone. And they have documents, making complaints every day.”
“So the number is actually increasing now against former government officials. Well, some of them are neutrals, but most of them are government officials. And some people were part of the previous government, and they themselves are coming forward with information.”
“Some low-level government appointees have come out to come forward. They generally are coming forward with information against their own former colleagues. Some are high up.”
“The message I get is that people want accountability. That’s why they come forward, even without being pushed. We don’t act on mere claims. But once there’s evidence, once there’s reason to investigate, we do,” he said.
