The Deputy Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Justice Srem Sai, has disclosed that some individuals implicated in the ongoing corruption investigations tagged Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) have approached authorities with offers to return assets believed to have been unlawfully acquired.
Speaking to the media at the Supreme Court on May 13, 2025, Deputy Attorney General, Justice Srem Sai disclosed that, in addition to offering to return allegedly looted assets, some of the individuals under investigation have also expressed their willingness to serve as witnesses to testify in court against certain accused persons.
“Let me tell you, a number of people have approached us making offers to return loot, including (sic), and we have agreed with some of them. Some of them have agreed to be witnesses for us against some of the accused persons,” he said.
According to Justice Srem Sai, the Office of the Attorney General is firmly on course to recover all looted assets in line with the current administration’s anti-corruption agenda.
He added that the office is open to accepting voluntary offers from individuals willing to return such assets, viewing these actions as major steps toward accountability and restitution.
“So, I think we are on track when it comes to the recovery. There’s no better way of recovering the money than voluntary recovery. So, if the people are willing to give us what they looted(sic), we will take it,” he added.
He further assured Ghanaians that the government remains fully committed to recovering all stolen assets and will take every necessary measure to ensure that public resources are reclaimed and those responsible are held accountable.
The Office of the Attorney General has since filed criminal charges against several former government appointees, including the former Minister of Education, Professor Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi, and Solomon Asamoah, former Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF), over their roles in the failed Accra Sky Train project.
In addition, the former CEO of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu Boahene, and his wife are also facing criminal charges in connection with the alleged embezzlement of state funds.
