President John Dramani Mahama has boldly reiterated that he is not going to influence any anti-corruption agencies to drop investigations against his appointees.
According to John Mahama, he is not going to interfere in the Attorney General and Minister of Justice investigation.
John Mahama revealed that 33 corruption cases are being prepared against Akufo-Addo appointees.
According to John Mahama, the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice is currently building 33 cases of corruption and related offences against the erstwhile government appointees.
He revealed that the cases were uncovered under the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Team he established after the 2024 election.
Speaking during a meeting with the African Union Advisory Board Against Corruption at the Jubilee House President Mahama stated, “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.
He added, “I have told the public and assured my Attorney General and Minister of Justice that I am not going to interfere in their work.
“If the anti-corruption agencies go after anybody, I am not going to try and influence them to drop any investigation against anybody, including those who served in the previous regime, many cases of whom we are currently investigating,” President Mahama said.
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.
President John Mahama also stated every pesewa recovered from Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) will be channelled back into national development.
