The Executive Director of Global InfoAnalytics, Mussa Dankwah, has urged the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, , to delay prosecuting all cases presented by the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) committee.
According to him, new laws should be enacted, or existing laws amended, to ensure that former government appointees or politically exposed persons who misappropriated state assets are required to repay or return the looted assets.
He further stated that decisions regarding the prosecution of these individuals should only be made once such legal frameworks are in place.
The pollster, in a series of posts on Facebook, argued that permitting the amendment of relevant laws to require corrupt officials to return their looted assets before prosecution begins will significantly increase the recovery rate of assets from those responsible. "Government must delay prosecutions from ORAL report until the necessary laws have been amended to increase the rate of recovery," he said in a Facebook post on Tuesday, February 11, 2025.
