Former Auditor-General, Daniel Domelevo, has said the credibility of Ghana’s fight against corruption now largely depends on how the Attorney-General handles high-profile cases submitted under the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) initiative.
Speaking on Joy News’ PM Express on Monday, Mr Domelevo noted that public expectations remain high following the submission of several cases for prosecution, warning that delays or inaction could further deepen public cynicism.
According to him, a genuine anti-corruption effort must begin from the top, with priority given to prominent cases to demonstrate that accountability is real. He stressed that prosecuting major cases swiftly would send a strong signal that the fight against corruption is not business as usual.
Mr Domelevo, who led efforts to recover misapplied public funds during his tenure, observed that many Ghanaians are losing confidence in the system, believing that corruption cases rarely result in consequences.
He urged the Attorney-General’s office to demonstrate urgency by deploying multiple teams to handle cases simultaneously, rather than allowing files to stall due to a piecemeal approach. However, he cautioned against rushing to court without thorough investigations, insisting that cases must be backed by proper audits and verification.
Mr Domelevo called for parallel audits and investigations to show tangible progress, noting that visible action is key to restoring public trust in the anti-corruption fight.
