The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, has warned that state institutions failing to provide information on alleged corruption cases involving officials in the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration would be considered complicit.
Addressing the media during the Government Accountability Series on Monday, December 22, 2025, he emphasised that delays by state agencies would be viewed as obstruction.

“The ORAL investigation is progressing well. 2026 is going to be a different year. If I make demands on you [state institutions] and you delay, I will take the view that you are complicit. So, all state institutions that have information needed to file criminal prosecutions should not delay in submitting it,” he stated.

The Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Committee was established by President John Dramani Mahama to recover looted state assets.
During the handover of the committee’s report to President Mahama, ORAL Chairman Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa highlighted the potential financial gains from ongoing investigations.
“If we are successful in recoveries, we can retrieve as much as 20.49 billion United States dollars,” he noted.
The cases under investigation include major corruption scandals such as the National Cathedral project, Power Distribution Services (PDS), and the Saltpond decommissioning project.
