Daniel Yaw Domelevo, a former Auditor-General and member of the Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL) team, says he is dissatisfied with the manner in which this administration is carrying out the prosecution of former public officials accused of corruption.
He believes nine months into the government’s administration is enough time to have gotten some results, instead of still proceeding without any tangible outcomes.
Recounting the work the ORAL team has done so far, Mr. Domelevo says he is surprised the Attorney-General has not prosecuted a single individual yet.
Speaking in an interview on The KSM Show, aired on YouTube on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, he said those implicated in corruption and corruption-related cases are hoping for a regime change so the allegations against them can be dropped.
“I am not satisfied at all. This is because I can’t see the tunnel, let alone talk about the light at the end of the tunnel. In fact, the prayer of the culprits and their lawyers is that there should be a change in government, and then the new one will enter a nolle prosequi, and our money is gone,” he said.
He urged the Attorney-General to speed up things and prosecute the suspects before the administration runs out of time.
“The procedure that the current Attorney-General is using is going to be very difficult. Nine months is not a small amount of time. Before we know it, we will have finished the term of President Mahama. So, I think we have to change the speed at which we are moving.”
President John Dramani Mahama established the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Team in December 2024 as a citizen-driven anti-corruption initiative led by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who currently serves as the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The team was tasked with gathering and documenting public complaints about alleged misappropriation of state resources, forwarding credible cases to investigative authorities, and helping recover stolen public funds at no cost to the state.
By June 2025, the Attorney-General had reportedly prepared 33 corruption-related cases against former government appointees based on ORAL’s work.
However, Mr. Domelevo’s comments highlight growing concern over the pace at which these cases are being pursued.
