Former Auditor-General Daniel Yao Domelevo has voiced his frustration over what he describes as the sluggish pace of corruption-related prosecutions under President John Dramani Mahama’s administration.
Speaking on The KSM Show on YouTube on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, Domelevo said he is far from impressed with the progress made so far by the Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL) initiative.
“I am not satisfied at all,” he stated. “This is because I can’t see the tunnel, let alone talk about the light at the end of the tunnel. In fact, the prayer of the culprits and their lawyers is that there should be a change in government, and then the new one will enter a nolle prosequi, and our money is gone.”
Domelevo, who serves as a member of the ORAL team, further expressed concern that the current approach being used by the Attorney-General’s office is too slow to yield meaningful results.
“The procedure that the current Attorney-General is using is going to be very difficult. Nine months is not a small amount of time. Before we know it, we will have finished the term of President Mahama. So, I think we have to change the speed at which we are moving,” he said.
The former Auditor-General’s comments come amid growing public concern about the effectiveness of the government’s efforts to retrieve stolen state funds and prosecute corruption-related cases involving former public officials.
