The Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, has confirmed that investigations under Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) are progressing steadily, with authorities working to ensure that any charges filed meet the rigorous standards of criminal prosecution.
Speaking to the media on Monday, 22 December, during the Government Accountability Series, Dr Ayine provided an update on the status of the investigations.
“The ORAL investigations are proceeding well, and we continue to strengthen initial reports to file charges that satisfy the standards of proof required in criminal trials,” he stated.
He emphasised that the focus remains on ensuring all charges are fully supported by credible evidence, in line with criminal law requirements. Dr Ayine noted that careful and methodical preparation is essential to securing convictions and maintaining public confidence in the justice system.
Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) is a government-led initiative aimed at investigating alleged corruption, misappropriation, and dissipation of state assets, with the objective of recovering public funds lost through abuse of office or financial misconduct. The operation prioritises evidence-based investigations to support both criminal prosecutions and civil recovery where necessary.
