The government’s once vocal commitment to retrieve stolen public funds under the banner of “Operation Recover All Loot” appears to be fading into inactivity, drawing growing frustration from observers and citizens alike. Among the critics is Solomon Owusu, who has publicly expressed deep dissatisfaction with the Attorney-General and his team for what he views as a disappointing handling of the initiative.
Launched with promise and public support, the operation was meant to aggressively track and recover assets wrongfully acquired by individuals and entities at the expense of the state. However, years down the line, visible results remain sparse, and high-profile prosecutions have slowed, leaving many to question whether political will has eroded or been redirected.
While the Office of the Attorney-General remains central to delivering justice and restoring public funds, its approach or lack thereof has led to concerns over selective action, bureaucratic bottlenecks, and a lack of transparency in asset recovery processes. Critics argue that momentum has stalled, and what was once seen as a bold anti-corruption move now risks becoming a forgotten promise buried under political expediency.
With economic conditions tightening and public demand for accountability intensifying, the failure to demonstrate progress on asset recovery sends the wrong message about the state’s seriousness on corruption. The silence, delays, and absence of clear benchmarks for success are doing little to reassure a population that once believed justice would be served.
If the Attorney-General’s office cannot reignite confidence in “Operation Recover All Loot,” it may not just be stolen funds that are lost but also public trust in the justice system’s ability to protect the national purse.
