Former Auditor-General Daniel Domelevo, a member of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) team, has stated that most of the 2,417 corruption-related cases submitted to President John Dramani Mahama require independent forensic audits before legal action can proceed.
Speaking on Citi FM on February 11, 2025, Domelevo clarified that the ORAL team’s mandate was to compile information, not conduct investigations.
“The bulk of it needs auditing to establish those had procurement breaches and cases that were not in line with the laws of Ghana because we didn’t do any investigation. We don’t have a mandate to investigate; ours was to collect information,” he explained.
The ORAL team, formed after Mahama’s 2024 election win, compiled reports from calls, emails, and public petitions. Domelevo emphasized that audits are essential to confirm procurement breaches and financial fraud, ensuring credible evidence for prosecution.
