A former legal advisor to ex-President John Agyekum Kufuor, Vicky Bright, has expressed support for the Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, over his recent public briefing on the “Operation Recover All Loot” (ORAL) initiative.
Speaking on JoyNews’ AM Show on June 16, 2025, she described the Attorney General’s actions as both lawful and necessary.
“This is nothing new. It is within the confines of the law to update the public on the progress of investigations. The June 13, 2025, briefing will not prejudice the ongoing cases,” she stated.
During the briefing, the Attorney General outlined the status of several high-profile investigations targeting former government officials, some of whom have already been arraigned.
Among those currently facing trial is the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu-Boahene, who has been charged alongside his wife and another accomplice over a $7 million cyber defense system contract scandal.
Former Deputy Executive Director of the National Service Authority (NSA), Gifty Oware-Mensah, has also been named in the ongoing payroll fraud case involving ghost names.
The ORAL initiative, launched earlier this year, aims to recover state funds allegedly lost through corrupt deals and mismanagement under previous administrations.
