No plea or negotiations entered with individuals involved in ORAL - Attorney-General tells Vice President

The Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has rejected claims that his office has entered into a plea bargain with some individuals linked to the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) cases.

Addressing concerns raised in some media reports, he said there was no negotiations even currently ongoing in that direction.

Speaking when the Vice-President, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, paid a working visit to the Ministry of Justice in Accra on Thursday [Feb 5, 2026], Dr Ayine said 16 dockets related to the ORAL cases are currently under critical review in collaboration with investigative agencies.

“We have 16 dockets under review, and these will go through a process of critical scrutiny. Where we identify loopholes in the investigations, we will ask the investigative authorities to provide additional evidence,” he said.

He stressed that none of the dockets submitted to his office has been compromised in any way.

Dr. Ayine cited the ongoing National Service prosecution as an example and therefore assured Ghanaians that individuals found culpable will be held accountable under the law.
