Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader, has said he does not oppose the Mahama government’s Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL).
The Minority Leader argued that he supports efforts to ensure that politically exposed persons are held accountable for their use of state resources.
However, raised concerns about how investigations into accountability-related actions are being carried out.
He argued that investigations involving public officials must be handled with a “human face”, raising concerns about how some state investigations are being conducted.
According to Afenyo-Markin, public officials who receive state funds must be prepared to explain how the money was used, adding that individuals who misappropriate state funds or take decisions that cause financial loss to the state cannot rely on politics to avoid investigations.
Speaking on the KSM Show, Afenyo-Markin stated, “Nobody, and I want to repeat it before I leave the studio, nobody is against accountability. Nobody is against ORAL”.
“I am not in any way against accountability, but what I’m saying is that accountability should be pursued with a human face,” he said.
“If you are given state funds, no way can you say that you are being harassed. If you misappropriate state funds or take a decision that causes financial loss to the state, you can’t use politics as an excuse if you are being investigated,” he added.
In related news, 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, Franklin Cudjoe, the President of IMANI Africa, has communicated his dissatisfaction over the acquittal and discharge of former CEO of MASLOC, Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu.
According to Franklin Cudjoe, the Court of Appeals decision is a setback to the Mahama government’s Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL).
He argued that ORAL just did the Witches’ dance, stating that with every two steps Ghana takes, four steps are taken backwards in the fight against corruption following Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu’s acquittal.
In a post on X, Franklin Cudjoe wrote, “ORAL just did the Witches’ dance– two steps forward, four steps backwards. Koklo!”.
