In a report sighted on Ghanaweb, he explained that the widely touted Operational Recover All Loot (ORAL) team is playing a key role in these investigations.
Some of the individuals implicated in the cases, according to the minister, have already been invited and interrogated by state investigative bodies.
He added that several dockets have been prepared and submitted to the Attorney General’s Department, where they are awaiting further legal action.
“In other words, they have invited people, questioned them, cautioned them, built a docket and presented the same to the Attorney General for action,” he said.
“They have over 40 such cases. In the case of NIB, over 43 people have been affected, including Kwaku Agyemang Manu, who only this week was all over the place claiming that nobody had touched him. Meanwhile, he had been brought in, and he had been questioned and cautioned. When you are cautioned, it simply means that they take your statement,” he added.
Kwakye Ofosu outlines four cases under investigation
The Minister of State in Charge of Government Communication further outlined several cases involving appointees of the former government that are currently under investigation.
He said one of the cases involves the Sputnik V vaccine procurement and COVID-19 frontier testing arrangements at the airport, in which former Minister for Health, Kwaku Agyemang Manu, has been invited and interrogated over the matter.
According to Kwakye Ofosu, another investigation concerns the Free Public Wi-Fi project, where former Minister for Energy and Education, Matthew Opoku Prempeh, and other individuals cited as persons of interest have been questioned. He added that the docket for the case has already been prepared.
He further disclosed that the Boankra Inland Port project is also under investigation. Persons mentioned in connection with the case include former Transport Minister Kweku Ofori Asiamah, Justice Amo, John Bernard Quartey Yorke and Michael Achagwe Luguje.
Another major case currently under investigation, he said, is the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP).
He added that individuals, including Mohammed Amin Adam, a former Finance Minister, have been invited for questioning and interrogated by investigators.
Other individuals cited in separate investigations include Sarah Femi Bediatuo Asante, Kwadwo Darko-Mensah, Benjamin Kofi Gyasi, Philip Tetteh Padi and Matthew Opoku Prempeh in connection with issues of digitalisation and related projects.
The Pwalugu Multi-Purpose Dam project is also part of the ongoing investigations. Individuals mentioned include former Minister for Food and Agriculture, Owusu Afriyie Akoto, Wilson Kwabena Darkwa and Alhassan Alolo Muntaka, who is believed to have served at the Office of the former Vice President.
Kwakye Ofosu also mentioned the World Blue judgment debts case, which he said involves former Minister for Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta.
Additionally, investigations are ongoing into matters related to the 13th African Games, with authorities reviewing the circumstances surrounding expenditure and procurement.
He further stated that the government’s commitment to pursuing accountability is aimed at ensuring that any misappropriated public funds are recovered.
