Dr Justice Srem-Sai, the Deputy Attorney General and Minister of Justice, has announced that there will be some interesting cases coming soon under the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL).

According to Justice Srem-Sai, the prosecutors have identified approximately 30 cases from the ORAL report that are prosecutable.

Speaking on TV3’s Hot Issues on July 26, 2026, Dr Srem-Sai revealed, “When we analyse the report, I think we had about 30 cases that we thought were prosecutable”.

Justice Srem-Sai also disclosed that between five and ten of those cases are currently at advanced stages of prosecution.

“I think we have like between five and 10 now,” Dr Srem-Sai stated.

According to the Deputy Attorney General, prosecutorial decisions are guided solely by the strength of evidence rather than the profile or political affiliation of the individuals.

Justice Srem-Sai added, “We don’t actually focus on which one is big or which one is that. We focus on which one is prosecutable”.

“I can tell you there will be some interesting cases coming soon”, he hinted.

Dr Srem-Sai regurgitated the government’s commitment to pursuing ORAL cases, which was established to investigate allegations of corruption, financial loss and the misappropriation of public resources.

“We are going to continue prosecuting as far as the ORAL is concerned; we are going to do it”, he added.

Meanwhile, Dr Justice Srem-Sai has said the state criminal case against former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene is a complex case.

Speaking on Joy News on Sunday, July 26, 2026, the Deputy Attorney-General dismissed claims that the criminal case against Kwabena Adu-Boahene is complex.

He argued that the prosecution’s case centres on the alleged diversion of public funds meant for national security procurement into a private account.

According to Justice Srem Sai, there is a deliberate public and media campaign to create the impression that the case was more complicated than it actually is

The Deputy Attorney-General speaking on Joy News stated, “I think there’s a very determined public campaign, media campaign, to create an impression. It’s a simple case, Samson”.

“There is public money in a public account. You have moved the public money from the public account into a private account and told the bank which did the transaction that you are using the money to go and purchase defence equipment for the state,” he said.

“The evidence shows from the account into which you deposited the money that you spent the money to buy houses for yourself and other high-end cars which you were renting and using for your own good,” he said.

He added, “Our case is simple. You cannot do this with public money. It amounts to stealing or causing financial loss or any of the public financial offences. That is what we are charging for.”

“They first started by saying that it was a loan. I’m sure you heard about that, that he gives loans to the public institution, and so the money moving back into his account is a repayment of the loan,” Dr Srem-Sai said.

Earlier, Justice Srem-Sai expressed confidence that justice will be served to both the accused persons and the Republic in the trial involving former Director-General of the Cyber Security Authority, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, and two others.

The Deputy AG, in a social media post, revealed that the state is looking forward to closing its case next week in the matter, in the alleged stealing of GH¢49.1 million from a government bank account.
